Benjamin's Combine 40

[Mr. Scot]

 

His profile page lists his time at 4.61, but on the tape here he runs a4.59 on his first attempt and a 4.53 on his second.  For a guy his size, that's pretty good.

 

What strikes me more watching this clip though is how much ground he covers.  Watch the slo-mo and you'll see him covering close to two full yards with each step he takes.  Those big long legs make a difference.

 

For another perspective,, check this clip...

 

 

A little after 1:25, you get to see how it looks when he's running straight at you.  Gives you the same feeling you'd have seeing a freight train bearing down on you.  Even just watching on a computer, I had the urge to dive out of the way.

 

Looking forward to seeing that in a game for us :)

Can't edit first post. Here's the first video.

He really is a physical specimen!  The physical talents are pretty much undeniable, it's the consistency that gets people.  I look forward to the work he does with the coaches during the off season and seeing what he can do in the preseason.  We signed a lot of vets this season for a reason.

 

But I am totally looking forward to him running over someone!  I hope we get to see that!

Yeah like when Cam is in stride he covers 5 yards in two steps.

Speed is not going to be his best asset. If he wants to make it in this league he need to be physical at the line of scrimmage, physical going up to get the ball, and physical once he has the ball. That is how he makes a name for himself.

He starts slow and gradually gets to full speed. I'm sure that's something they'll have him work on, but watch him cruise right by the Gator DB's and tell me he's slow.

He can improve his "get off"

Based on this...

 

 

...I'd say he's doing well on his "get out of my way".

That guy is such a dipshit. After all the hype he built up for Blaine Gabbert, I don't know why anyone here still posts anything he says.

The guy is pretty decent for the most part. Gabbert was probably the biggest mistake of his career.

 

Not defending the guy but I doubt many could do better.

He's a hype man, that's pretty much it. I don't even know that I'd hold his opinion over the average huddler.

So if there is literal video evidence that Benjamin can run a 4.53 40 than why is he listed as a 4.61 guy everywhere? Doesn't make much sense to me.
