One area Benson could be better is developing as a 3rd down back. Both Mixon and Benson are pretty good swing pass receivers but Mixon has shown he just cannot pass protect and at this point in his career he is who he is. Benson shows rhe ability but they only use him as a pass protector in split back sets with Jahiem Bell.
There are similarities, but we're talking a high-mid 4.3 guy vs a mid 4.4 guy and a guy that shows pass protect ability vs a guy that just doesn't seem to bother.
I'm not saying I would blow a 1st on him, but I'd be happy with him in the third.
