Huge disappointment for a 1st rounder - I don't care how well he blocked. Ced was good for a while but was pretty close to cooked when they finally let him go. He just didn't have it anymore. I believe he tried to make the Packers roster and couldn't crack the 53 due to an injury.
The Pack signed CedBen out of desperation during the season after a couple RB injuries. He played a couple games and got injured.
Benson was like Kyle Cook. He looked better than he really was because he replaced someone truly awful. Benson was an average back at best. I used to call him Benson 3.5 because that's generally what he was good for with his YPC.
But of course, he was a substantial upgrade over Chris Perry, who was a shell thanks to injuries.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
