Arrelious Benn - WR - Illinois

[WAYSA]

I know this thread is a year earlier, but my god this guy is ridiculous!

6'2" - 220 lbs - 4.4

He's one of the best yards after contact receivers I have ever seen. Often drags defenders for 5+ yards at a time. He bounces off kill shots like no one you will ever see. To put it in perspective: I have watched him for two years and he has taken some serious hard knocks and I cannot recall one single play where he was hit and flattened.

Everyone wants to compare him to Boldin, but he is definitely faster. Which is a scary thought. I think he is another Andre Johnson type talent, but more physical and less the leaper.

He has 4 straight 100 yard receptions game (While seeing double coverage at all times) a school record and is really coming into his own now that Juice has suddenly become a passer.

Benn has to be the #1 NFL WR prospect in college football right now.

What does everyone else think about him? Icness?

Here are some highlights:

The play at 0:22 is just ridiculous. That play was overturned for a TD.

As an illini fan I love AB. He has lived up to the hype that accompanied him to Champaign, which is an unbelievable success in and of itself.

I still say Crabtree is the best collegiate receiver in the nation and is the next Calvin Johnson.

Calvin Johnson is the next big thing in the NFL.
