Did FSU RB Trey Benson do enough to elevate his 2024 NFL Draft stock?
NFL DRAFT STOCK RISING?
I recently wrote an article talking about how The 33rd Team placed Benson as their number one running back prospect on their 2024 NFL Draft Big Board in front of Clemson's Will Shipley, Michigan's Blake Corum, Oregon's Bucky Irving, and Wisconsin's Braelon Allen.
While a 40-yard dash does not equate to being a high draft pick, it could potentially allow scouts to project Benson's abilities as a player. His breakaway speed was crucial to the Seminoles' offensive success, but he also showcased the ability to finish through defenders at times.
According to Walter Football's 2024 NFL Mock Draft, they have Benson was selected with the 101st overall pick by the Tennessee Titans. With running back Derrick Henry possibly being gone, this could be an excellent opportunity for them to get a value pick in the early fourth round.
Given the 40-yard dash time today, could we see Benson elevate his stock even higher? Overall, the running back position is not highly coveted by the NFL nowadays and has a low shelf life. My hope is that Benson has a long, productive NFL career with whoever drafts him.
