Walter of WalterFootball has been WalterFootball'ing since 1999'. Older Content is being kept around here. Thanks for reading.
Strengths: Very big, strong frame Tough and competitive Displays great body control Nice catch radius Physical runner after the catch - doesn't shy from contact Good job of reading coverages Will find the soft spots in zone Savvy route runner Changes speeds and really sells the corner Impressive ball skills Does a good job of sinking hips and exploding out of breaks Not afraid to go over the middle Solid speed and athleticism Prototypical possession receiver Love his hand-eye coordination Nice vision Terrific agility and change of direction Great overall skill set
Weaknesses: Lacks elite vertical speed A little slow to eat the off-man cushion Hands were somewhat inconsistent as a junior Poor junior year production (read summary) Primarily played in the slot at Illinois - will be asked to be a flanker/split end
Summary: Benn has the talent and polish to contribute very early in his career and I don't doubt that he will be a No. 1 receiver for some team. He wasn't very productive as a junior, but most people I've talked to say the quarterback situation at Illinois really hurt Benn's numbers. Benn will be a far better red=zone weapon in the NFL than he was in college. Benn is expected to go in the latter half of the first round.
Player Comparison: Anquan Boldin. Boldin, like Benn, has a big frame with very good ball skills, athleticism and toughness.
