STACKED’s take
Sixth-rounder Benson earning more reps through chemistry with Mendoza; coaches and vets praise work ethic.
The 2026 sixth-round pick has made a strong early impression during Raiders training camp, earning increased opportunities through good chemistry with No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza. Head coach Klint Kubiak praised Benson for having a 'good head start' and 'playing good football,' while veteran receivers Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor both highlighted his work ethic, coachability, and daily improvement. Tucker noted Benson 'can run all day' and has the athleticism to earn a roster spot, while Nailor emphasized his willingness to ask questions and desire to improve. Benson is competing for the third wide receiver spot on the depth chart, a role currently up for grabs with second-round pick Jack Bech considered an underwhelming favorite after a disappointing rookie season.
