Benn is somewhat of an enigma as a wide receiver. The first thing you notice about Benn is his impressive size, strength and speed. He’s also a very tough receiver who will go over the middle and is a solid blocker.

However, the more you watch Benn and the more you’ll see his flaws shine through. His hands are only average and he needs to improve his catching mechanics. Benn will also require a good wide receivers coach who can show him to run a greater variety of routes.

Interesting look at the Illinois WR. Good blocking skills have to help him with Todd Haley.

I think this assement of Benn is SPOT ON.

And I don’t think that Haley would like this guy because:

His hands are only average and he needs to improve his catching mechanics.

The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far is as needed?

I dunno

sounds like he’d fit right in with our guys

The only measure of true success in the NFL is the Vince Lombardi trophy. Anything less is a rationalization.

A receivers job is to CATCH the ball, give me a guy that can do that

Qb for illinois sucked monkey balls so hard to eavluate a wr with “juice” williams as his qb. Ditto for potential stud wr of georgia tech. Nesbit was terrible this year. Combine will really show if these 2 guys can catch.
