Trey Benson, FSU
Benson, a senior out of Oregon and FSU, had one of his most productive seasons last year. He totaled 906 yards and 14 TDs on 156 attempts. Benson's first two years of college were at Oregon where he only saw six attempts, so his legs are very fresh for a four-year RB. Senior RBs tend to have hundreds of rushes already accumulated by the time they enter the NFL and they wear down faster.
Benson is intriguing because he only had 316 rushes in college and is 21 years old. To put that in perspective, Braelon Allen is 20 years old and rushed 597 times in three years.
Benson is probably the most intriguing RB coming out this year. He has plenty of experience rushing the ball, but not as much tread on his legs as some of the other backs projected to go ahead of him. He measured in at 6'0 216 lbs at the combine and ran a 4.39 40. He has the perfect size and speed combination where he'll bounce off of tacklers and will compliment Cook and Johnson's speed well.
Benson should expect some success in the NFL as an RB2 in a committee, and after this year, should be penciled in as James Cook's backup.
