Analistas preveem papel de destaque para Gennings Dunker nos Steelers

Dois analistas da NFL acreditam que a escolha de terceira rodada Gennings Dunker pode se tornar um dos principais nomes da classe de novatos de 2026 do Pittsburgh Steelers. Brian Baldinger e Mike DeFabo destacaram a tenacidade do jogador de linha ofensiva de Iowa e seu caminho para ganhar tempo de jogo cedo na posição de guard. Os Steelers selecionaram Dunker como a última de suas três escolhas de terceira rodada, após fazerem um total de 10 seleções.

Baldinger chamou Dunker de sua seleção favorita na terceira rodada durante uma aparição no programa The Insiders, da NFL Network. Ele observou o desempenho do jogador no Senior Bowl e seu corte de cabelo mullet antes de elogiar sua adaptação a Pittsburgh. “Ele pode entrar, jogar naquela posição e ser como um Steeler. Simplesmente o mais agressivo possível”, disse Baldinger, referindo-se a uma possível mudança para a posição de left guard após a saída de Isaac Seumalo na free agency.
