In a recent interview, Overtime Heroics Senior Editor Reggie Roberts had an exclusive chat with Pittsburgh Steelers’ standout Nose Tackle, Keeanu Benton.
When asked about his Spotify playlist, Benton revealed he’s currently immersed in a Bob Marley phase, with the recent release of a Bob Marley movie. However, he also expressed his love for Rod Wave’s music.
Switching gears to baseball, Benton shared his pick for a walk-out song if he were an MLB closer: “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC.
Here’s how the conversation rolled:
OH: What’s bumping on your Spotify feed these days?
KB: “You know the Bob Marley movie just came out, so I’m in my Bob Marley phase right now. But Rod Wave you can never go wrong with.”
OH: What would be your walkout song if you were a Major League Baseball closer?
KB: “Thunderstruck by AC/DC.”
