The Wisconsin Badgers had several players depart for the 2023 NFL Draft this offseason, especially along the defensive side, with senior defensive tackle Keeanu Benton amongst them.
Benton, a 6’4, 315-pound tackle who can play in the 1-tech or the 3-tech, was invited to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, where he is considered to be one of the better defensive players available.
With practices starting on Tuesday, check out some clips and comments on Benton during his first day there.

Entered the week as one of the best defensive prospects here and he hasn’t disappointed.
Benton’s violent hands earned him some love from fellow Badgers teammate Nick Herbig, who shared his thoughts on Twitter.

Looking to improve his draft stock, Benton will be a player to watch going forward during the week of Senior Bowl practices.
