Steelers Rookie Dunker Adjusting to NFL Speed

Published June 1, 2026 · Updated June 1, 2026 · NBC Sports

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie guard Gennings Dunker is already recognizing the difference in speed between NFL and college players during team activities.

Dunker, selected by the Steelers in the third round of the 2026 NFL draft, has noticed NFL players are significantly faster than those he faced during his college career at Iowa. Specifically, he mentioned that NFL linebackers are more athletic and will require him to take different angles. amunra-opinie.pl

"These guys are a lot faster than college linebackers," Dunker said. "They're pretty quick, so maybe taking a little bit different angles because they're definitely a lot better athletes than me." The Steelers made offensive line a priority in this year's draft, selecting tackle Max Iheanachor in the first round before adding Dunker, and are counting on their young linemen to make a quick adjustment to the NFL speed.
