STACKED’s take
Sixth-round rookie Benson impressing in camp with Mendoza chemistry and veteran praise.
2026 sixth-round rookie has turned heads early in Raiders training camp with strong chemistry developing with No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, earning increased opportunities as camp progresses. Head coach Klint Kubiak noted Benson has had a 'good head start' and is 'playing good football,' though still has much to prove. Veteran teammates Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor have praised his work ethic, coachability, and daily improvement, with Tucker noting 'he can run all day' and Nailor highlighting his mindset and willingness to ask the right questions. Benson is competing for the third wide receiver spot against underwhelming 2025 second-round pick Jack Bech and appears ahead of schedule with a chance to take on a bigger role than previously expected.
