Can he fight through to make the team? 2019 Broncos roster review: UDFA wide receiver Trinity Bensondenverbroncos.comIt wasn’t two years ago that John Elway spent a 2017 fifth-round pick on Isaiah McKenzie to provide the Broncos’ return game a shot in the arm. Six fumbles later he found his way to the Buffalo Bills and Denver finished the 2018 season among the worst teams in the league by return average. Which explains the aggressive attempt to address the weakness again this offseason.Trinity Benson is far from a household name after playing his collegiate career at East Central University. That could soon change as the 22-year-old averaged 42 yards a punt return in 2018, to go with his selection as a Great American Conference first-team wide receiver and an honorable mention as a return specialist. Trinity BensonFor his career, the 5-foot-11 182-pound Benson had 1,700 receiving yards, playing both in the slot and outside. Coaches also searched for other ways to get the ball in his hands Emmanuel Sanders Color Rush Jersey , including giving him reps as a Wildcat quarterback. Benson rewarded their effort by rushing 54 times for 324 yards and five touchdowns in 2018.The goodBenson offers the kind of long speed to potentially grow into a lot more than a returner. While it’s true he has a huge jump ahead of him coming out of college, he shows the skills to develop into a valuable role player with patience. The badThe Broncos depth chart is short on experienced proven receivers, but Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton, and Tim Patrick look like locks for the roster. Emmanuel Sanders should be provided he’s recovered from his 2018 injury and Denver just spent a 6th round pick on Colorado Buffalo Juwann Winfree. Benson is going to have to turn eyes early and often if he’s going to make the final roster out of camp and may not have a long leash to develop. As a receiver Gary Zimmerman Jersey , he’s coming into such a new situation it’s impossible to predict with any certainty how he’ll take to NFL route trees and competition. He shows some traits, but his experience in OTAs are the first time he’s ever faced off against anything resembling NFL quality defensive backs. Trinity Benson’s roster status with the BroncosIn my first stab at projecting the Broncos final 53 I gave Trinity Benson a spot. Part of my belief comes from the situation around him. There aren’t many other players on the current roster who offer near as much potential as a returner as Benson could as an legitimate scoring threat. If he can’t show that ability in the preseason though, he’s going to have a really tough time. The more I’ve thought about it, the more I believe the Broncos will hold onto Winfree. That’d mean 5 receiver spots currently look secure. River Cracraft, Benson https://www.broncosfanstore.com/Garett-Bolles-Jersey , and fellow rookie Kelvin McKnight look like they’re all fighting for that last spot. Even then, Rich Scangarello may elect to carry four tight ends over six receivers. Benson’s quickness and speed would be a welcome asset on the Broncos return teams. The fan in New Jersey who bet $110 on the Broncos when FanDuel accidentally listed them at 750-1 odds will get his money after all.After initially saying that it had posted those long shot odds accidentally and wouldn’t honor the fan’s bet, FanDuel released a statement saying that it will pay off multiple bets that were placed on the Broncos at a time when a glitch resulted in FanDuel listing them as extreme long shots to beat the Raiders, which they did.“We are paying out these erroneous tickets and wish the lucky customers well. Going forward, we are working with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to improve our processes and procedures Jake Butt Color Rush Jersey ,” FanDuel said in the statement.FanDuel did make clear, however, that it believes it is not legally required to pay such bets. If FanDuel intends to list a bet at 10-1 but accidentally lists it as 10000000-1, they’re only going to pay off at 10-1.“These kinds of issues are rare, but they do happen Billy Turner Jersey ,” the statement said. “We have clear house rules about how such obvious pricing errors are treated, which is to pay winners at the correct price.”So the fans who found those crazy odds on the Broncos will get paid. The next fan to find such a mistake won’t be as lucky.
