Arrelious Benn

WR RET

Illinois

DraftNasty.com Description

After catching only 38 passes this past season, in large part due to inconsistency at the quarterback position, Benn made the decision to come out early for the 2010 NFL Draft. Blessed with Top 10 talent, the 6'1" Benn needed to have outstanding individual workouts to warrant a first round selection in this year's draft. His combination of size, speed and body control are all fine characteristics in his favor.
