TEXAS (March 23rd) senior running back CEDRIC BENSON ran between 4.58 and 4.65 in the 40... some had as fast as 4.55, others as slow as 4.68... here's a breakdown of his 40's... he was whistled to stop, as he had a rolling start on his first attempt, slipped on his second attempt, so his times came on his 3rd and 4th attempts... 4.21/4.40 short shuttle... 7.48/7.52 three-cone... 33" vertical... also did 21 reps of 225 pounds, but some recorded only 18 of those, as he failed to lockout... weighed in at 5106, 225 pounds... his positional drills were very good, but not great... looked best with the ball in his hands... making his cuts and running out most/all of his runs... caught passes well, but was a little slower than normal in terms of his quickness/footwork... did not mention or complain about any type of injury... was also not overweight or out of shape... he's a power runner with average 40-speed, but very good "Game Day" speed on the field... quick to hole... very good vision... physical runner... good, but not great hands... Miami (Nick Saban), Chicago (Jerry Angelo) were two of the teams that did not have a very important evaluator in attendance for this workout because they were still out in Hawaii at the NFL Owner's meeting... Benson spent about 10 minutes with Miami RB coach Bobby Williams after the workout...
