Benson makes a Statement

The 24 year old showed us his football capabilities by setting the tone for what would become a great day for the Bears defense. On the first play of the game Benson locked eyes with Bridgewater and broke on a drag route picking the ball off.

However, staying true his moniker, coined by veteran LB Danny Trevathan, Benson had a open field with 6 points ahead of him and decided to run backwards and get tackled. Benson was a huge question mark coming into the draft. He went on a high speed chase with police leading to him being  convicted of a Felony (he's currently on Probation).

With no invite to the NFL Combine the future seemed dim for Benson until Coach Johnson put the call in on Draft night. In a post game interview Benson stated "Welcome to The Chi" that's why "Tre" call me "Young Reckless"!!!!!
