Charlie Batch compara o novato Gennings Dunker a Alan Faneca

O ex-quarterback do Steelers, Charlie Batch, vê fortes semelhanças entre o novato de terceira rodada Gennings Dunker e o integrante do Hall da Fama Alan Faneca. Espera-se que Dunker faça a transição de offensive tackle na faculdade para guard na NFL. A comparação surge enquanto Pittsburgh busca preencher uma lacuna na posição de left guard após perder Isaac Seumalo.

Batch elogiou as ferramentas físicas de Dunker durante comentários recentes no canal do YouTube da equipe. “Dunker tem todos os atributos físicos que você deseja para um guard”, disse Batch. “Ele entende que tem a oportunidade de começar como titular neste momento. Ele me lembra muito Alan Faneca.”
