The Eagles traded for Arrelious Benn back in March. I loved the move, since the team needed more size and toughness at the position. Benn has been a disappointment in the NFL, but he is a good fit for this offense.
Chris McPherson wrote a good piece on him for PE.com.
The funny thing is that we’ve gotten so caught up in talking about Ifeanyi Momah, Damaris Johnson and Russell Shepard as “guys to watch” that we’ve forgotten about Benn. I do think Benn can be a good role player, if not more. He and Riley Cooper are the best blockers. Benn is the most physical of the receivers and has good RAC skills. It is easy for some guys to look good in shorts. I think Benn will shine when there is live hitting.
