FSU Football: 3 Players Likely Round 1 Picks in 2024 NFL Draft
3. Trey Benson
Taylor Devers of Chop Chat reported that Trey Benson ranks as the number one running back prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft. That comes as no surprise, as he has been a top-five running back all season. Capping off his college career with 156 carries, 905 yards, and 14 touchdowns easily makes him a solid round 1 pick.
Just like former FSU running back Dalvin Cook, Trey Benson's speed and versatility is a danger to any defensive scheme. Bulldozing through defenders allows him to fight for extra yards to pick up first downs. Alongside Jordan Travis and Keon Coleman, he has been an efficient offensive player in the red zone, coming in clutch with touchdowns for the Seminoles. Many NFL teams should be impressed by that alone.
Whether it be the centerpiece of the running game or an extra weapon for a dynamic rushing duo, Benson will be a valuable asset to any NFL team.
