Also Wood is completely incorrect about Hockenson. Been reading Hock wanted to reset the TE market but his production and numerous games missed to go along with his differences with the coaching staff forced their hand to ship him out.
Wood is a statistics teacher at a Community college, he is a 100% look at the numbers and ignore all possible subjective context guy. Which isnt me trying to shit on him, but its important to understand who he is/what hes doing - he has no inside information and is probably looking at some advanced "% open against man coverage" stat and isnt actually recalling from memory why DET moved on from Hockenson.

Oh I love the numbers but sometimes they don’t always tell the whole story

The Bears were ahead of the curve on Plug and Play RBs....

Except it was Plug and Couldn't Play in this case...
The crazy thing was OUR Adrian Peterson ran a 4.65,yet often looked more explosive as a ball carrier than Benson.

RB Ashton Jeanty (Boise State)
OL Will Campbell (LSU)

If the report, I saw yesterday is true that Braxton Jones is still walking with a noticeable limp months after his ankle injury.............Will Cambell come on down.

I've been saying all off-season there is no way I am comfortable with assuming BJ will be strong enough to be relied on as a full time starter this season. Absolutely no way. What the answer is I don't know, but this is the most concerning issue on the team at present.

Bensons career numbers came from sheer number of carries. His career yards per carry was bad.

Bensen became somewhat decent after he left the Bears and played for CIN. Kinda funny.

I believe both have run 40s in the past.
With MPH measurements in their pads there's really no reason for them to ever run the 40. The risk of a hamstring injury that then hurts their draft stock and hurts their rookie mini camp OTAs and veteran mini camp availability. Draft the guy not based on his 40 but what you've seen on tape. Then grow him over in practices leading up to training camp.

Arizona State football running back star Cam Skattebo reportedly ran a 40-yard dash in the 4.53-4.57 range at his private workout Thursday in front of NFL scouts, per scouts in attendance.



What round will he be selected?
