Scouting Report: Strengths

• Benson has very good vision and a knack for picking out cut-back lanes and then breaking offchunks of yardage.
• Cuts on a dime with lightning-fast feet and the quick-twitch explosion of an Olympic sprinter out of the block. Very good vision.
• Once Benson plants his foot, he’s explosive moving upfield, and his 0-to-60 acceleration is enough to catch defenses off-guard.
• His initial burst is excellent, and he’s capable of running out of a traditional setup or taking the ball lined up next to a quarterback in shotgun.
• He’s at his best working in space, showing the quickness and vision of a return specialist. His stop-start ability allows him to create initial separation.
• An excellent blocker on the outside, he also adds value in the running game.
• He often thrived in the screen game, transitioning upfield quickly and showing a knack for following his blocks. Benson has the size and strength to pass protect.
