Steelers Rookie Dunker Adjusting to NFL Speed

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

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

Gennings Dunker, the Steelers' third-round draft pick, has observed that NFL players, particularly linebackers, are significantly faster and more athletic than those he faced during his college career at Iowa. The rookie guard is adjusting his angles to better handle the increased speed of professional defenders.

The Steelers made offensive line a priority in the 2026 NFL draft, selecting tackle Max Iheanachor in the first round before adding Dunker. The organization will be counting on these young offensive linemen to make a quick adjustment to NFL speed and athleticism as they prepare for the upcoming season. forestarrow.help
