Eno Benjamin

One player that will have a lot of value in the later rounds is Eno Benjamin. Benjamin is an explosive runner who is great at changing direction, and had 1,083 rushing yards with a nice 4.3 yards per carry along with 10 rushing touchdowns this past season. Benjamin’s ability to quickly change direction is his best quality and being able to move and trick defenders into taking the wrong angle.

Benjamin might have to earn special team reps to make a team in 2020, but his potential is there in short yardage situations. Benjamin can survive in the NFL with more reps and getting better at pass protection. Adding more muscle to his frame and not getting too antsy by changing direction will be a priority for Benjamin headed into April. He has the opportunity to carve out a nice role on early downs for the Bills allowing Singletary to make more plays on passing downs.

Eno Benjamin might be too small to be considered a power back or to be considered part of the Bills plans, but he always falls forward and finishes every run violently. Benjamin has many great qualities that would warrant Brandon Beane using a draft pick on him.
