Calouro do Steelers, Gennings Dunker, aponta velocidade como maior ajuste na NFL

O calouro da linha ofensiva do Pittsburgh Steelers, Gennings Dunker, afirmou que a velocidade do jogo tem sido sua maior adaptação durante as atividades organizadas da equipe (OTAs). A escolha de terceira rodada também está em transição de tackle para guard após sua carreira universitária em Iowa.

Dunker falou com repórteres durante as OTAs no início da semana. Ele observou que os linebackers da NFL são mais rápidos do que aqueles que enfrentou na universidade e exigem ângulos de bloqueio diferentes devido ao seu atleticismo superior.
