Florida State RB prospect Trey Benson joins ‘NFL Total Access’ ahead of 2024 draft

NFL network. Meanwhile, he could be the first running back taken off the board from Florida State . Trey Benson is with us third fastest 40 time in Indianapolis at the combine A4239. And yet I’m sitting there and I’m watching your your Pro Day on campus interview, and you seem

Disappointed with a four, three nine man that was still pretty quick. Yeah, I felt disappointed. I feel like, you know, it could have been way faster than what it was. You know, in training, I was hitting you know, way more way better numbers than that. So four, three, nine. That was like one

Of my goals. But it could have been faster for sure. Yeah. You don’t look slow as we’re watching this 40 right now. And I know Maurice Jones drew, one of our good friends and colleagues, has been raving about what you can do at the NFL level. He was ranking his top

Running back prospects. You sit number one on the list for him. And yet he says, look, depending on fit, you’re the type of guy who could have a really great NFL career. Depending on that system, what system would you thrive in, I like I like running, you know, any type of

Running game. But, you know, one of my favorite ones is gap scheme. The gap scheme run. So you know, more of them kind of them kind of players. So whatever system you know they got them counter plays and honestly just anywhere, you know I feel like I fit in anywhere.

Now for a guy like you, you’ve had a ton of success at the college level. And I think people forget you’re still just coming out of school. There’s a lot of treads still left on these legs. You can really be a great pro. So you tell me, where are those biggest strides? Where

Do you think you can make the biggest leaps to have the biggest impact on Sundays, really just, you know, trusting my track, trusting my train. You know what I’ve been taught you know, in Florida State with Coach Norvell, you know, just, you know, having that confidence , you know, just going to the

Game. That confidence knowing what I’m you know going to do. And I feel like I just have that home run ability. Yeah. You know you play in a position at the running back spot that’s a little polarizing in today’s NFL . People saying hey it’s a devalued position. Yet a year

Ago we saw two running backs taken in the top 12. A lot of speculation. You could be that first running back taken off the board. What’s the Intel? What’s the feedback that you’re getting in terms of where you could potentially land number wise in the draft, well, I really don’t,

You know, look too much into that. But I’ve been hearing like, you know, second round, you know, yeah, but probably possibly I can sneak in the first. But, you know, I really just ain’t been, you know, you know, my eyes ain’t been on that too much. I’ve just been having

My head down, working. Well, there’s a lot of people that always, you know, draft high mock drafts, thinking about comps, who this player looks like, who he could perform. Like, do you think you have a player comp, yeah. I feel like they call me like baby AP Adrian

Peterson I feel like that’s a pretty good one. I feel like him for sure. You know, just baby AP . That’s why I feel like Adrian Peterson. Yeah. I was looking up some of the numbers. We did, some of our research. There’s two guys in particular that stood out to me. The measurables

Are eerily similar. Breece Hall’s numbers compared to you. I mean, look at this. This is as razor close as it gets in terms of some of these numbers. And yet this guy has really balled out in a green uniform. Oh, yeah. Breece Hall I actually, you know, last week he reached

Out to me, you know, told me I had a great combine. You know, just watching him when he was at, you know, Iowa State. It was it was surreal because, you know, he he reminded me, you know, when I watched him play in college, it was more like

Myself, you know, I saw that’s that’s a great, you know, player comp. That’s pretty cool. So Breece Hall reaches out to you, who are some of those other guys that might have checked in on you after maybe watching the combine or seeing you ball out for Florida State, I talked to

Bijan Robinson most of sometimes Jamir Gibbs, and you know, Cam Akers could be from the same area. So, you know, I’ve been, you know, talking to them. And, you know, it’s been great because I watched them growing up. So talking to them and it’s been surreal. Yeah. We spent a

Lot of time. We do hours and hours of coverage around the NFL combine and they’re analyzing everything. And we always hear about these interviews that you guys have to do with a lot of these teams, especially when you make your visits in respective cities. What do you want NFL

Teams to know about you, just, you know, a guy that like to work, you know, goofy. I’m a all around all around player and a great teammate. You know, I make sure all my teammates good and they can count on me. You know if it’s if it’s if it’s low.

Like if the vibes are off I’m I’m the one to count on. You know put them back on the right track. All right. Before we let you get going, I love digging into the research when we have guests that are gracious enough at their time and come into

Studio with us, what’s the most memorable game of your career? Because I found one stat and I couldn’t get over some of the numbers, so I’m curious for you, what’s that game that stands out? Honestly, probably 2022 versus Boston College. That was my, first time, you know, back

Then on kick return in college, you know, first time since probably middle school back then when kick return and, you know, they kicked the ball to me and I, you know, took it, took it to the house for a touchdown. It was probably the loudest I ever heard, you know, Doak Campbell

Stadium in my life. So that was the most memorable, memorable time I had, you know, in my, you know, time at Florida State for sure. All right. Can I I’m going to throw one year away because to me it’s even better than that. Although you’re talking about a college game in high

School, you ran for 392 yards and seven touchdowns in one game. Oh, it was eight touchdowns. Eight one, eight oh. Are you serious? Eight. It was 81 game. I, I didn’t even play the fourth quarter in that game. And it was against the across the street rival. So we was in

The same city and it was a rival game versus the school across the street from us. Yeah. So you know that was a that was a crazy game actually. If you get one of those in the NFL, trust me, that’ll be the most memorable game ever. We’re going to be

Thinking about you for the Hall of Fame if you’re able to score one. No right. That would be crazy. Absolutely amazing. I appreciate you stopping by with us, man. B
