| 0:00.0 | taken into account that NFL teams factor in past protection as well, past receiving natural hands. There's so many factors playing running back. But trade Benson from a size speed standpoint is certainly an interesting prospect. So let's get into him, Nick. What are your thoughts on Benson? I have a lot of stuff too that I want to get into, but I want to get your overall. I know you had a time to now watch his tape. What are your overall thoughts? Oh, you're going to start Okay, let's get into this first. |
| 0:01.8 | Yeah, we have the mock draftable of Trey Benson up. We did this for Chop Robinson a few podcasts ago. This is somebody 77 percentile size is just a shade under six foot one, 216 pounds. We're talking about a big back. The length is is whatever it's not really all that important. But what is important is a 10 yard split of 152. That is 83rd percentile, that a 40 yard dash of 439, which is 92 percentile. Explosive jump, not great, similar to former Florida state running back, Dalvin Cook, 37th percentile, 33 and a half inch. And then his broad jump is 122. |
| 0:55.3 | So that's solid just over 10 feet, 74th percentile for Mr. |
| 0:59.8 | Trey Benson. |
| 1:00.4 | I just got done watching him actually today. |
| 1:02.6 | So Trey Benson is very fresh in my mind. |
| 1:05.2 | Look, man, this is somebody in college when he did catch the edge. |
| 1:08.4 | He could house it. |
| 1:09.2 | He clocked over 21 miles per hour several different times. |
| 1:12.9 | But Dan, for me, he's wanted to get your take on this. |
| 1:16.0 | He's a little bit more of a of a slasher than somebody who is really elusive in a phone booth type of running back. |
| 1:23.2 | Now, he has made safety's miss in space. |
| 1:26.8 | I think it's more so because of the way he angles his body. |
| 1:30.5 | And then once he decides to cut, it's that immediate acceleration to speed gets to the second gear very quickly that can really cut the angle of the safety off from from reaching him. |
| 1:43.3 | Right. |
| 1:43.6 | But I don't see him as that type of player like a shady mccoy who can really just make you miss in like a phone booth so there's a little bit of tightness in his lower body from that standpoint but overall i did like his tape we'll get into a synopsis and more into the sticky wickets here in a little bit but i just wanted to throw that at you and maybe give our early comps on this player because I kind of like my comp for him. |
| 2:02.5 | And it's somebody who is on this mock draftable, unfortunately. Sometimes I want the comp to not be there because I think about it before. And then I go to his mock draftable. He tested similarly. And I'm like, God, damn, everyone's going to think I'm a poser. Well, it's interesting for multiple of reasons. before this podcast i told nick i really like my comp or i really see really enjoying my comp for my |
| 2:01.9 | player and nick's like oh It's interesting for multiple reasons. Before this podcast, I told Nick, I really like my comp or I really see, really |
| 2:19.0 | enjoying my comp for my player. And Nick's like, oh, I feel it's got excited. He's like, I think we're going to have the same comp again. Like I love my comp too. We don't have the same comp just based on what the information you just gave me about the mock draft. Well, my guy's not on this page. But let me get into some of my early thoughts on Benson. |
| 2:16.0 | I have a bunch |
| 2:34.4 | of stats and stuff I want to get into, but just mine is the opposite from watching and play, I think if you're a team at the NFL level looking for a home run hitting possibility, and it doesn't have to just be at running back. If you're a team like the Giants, you don't really have, you have one home run hitter right now in my mind and Jalen Hyatt, and you don't really have much other home run threat type of bit of players on your team. |
| 2:33.4 | And you had one home run hitter right now in my mind and jalen hyatt and you don't really have much other home run threat type of bit of players on your team and you had one with barclay you don't have that anymore this is the type of guy i think you can put in and be like we've got our we now have a home run hitter on our offense it's not just that he has four three nine speed it's that he actually puts that to good use and that's how i saw it on the tape and i And I had a great stat of him that I'm trying to find now, which is an insane stat that I'm looking for now that I'm doing a poor job of finding, but might find in a second. And there it goes. I found it. That was me filibustering my way around bad radio, Nick. But the stat that I'm looking for is 54% of Trey Benson's career rushing yards came on runs that were 15 plus yards. |
