the 6-foot-1 and 195-pound sixth-round pick (195th overall) from the most recent draft brings much-needed electricity and explosiveness — on both offense and special teams. The 23-year-old wideout did well with his opportunities as Oregon's punt returner last season with nine returns for 161 yards and a score — an 85-yarder against USC.

Rookie Benson's college punt return production (161 yards, 1 TD) earns primary return looks.

The 23-year-old rookie wide receiver (sixth-round, 195th overall, 6-foot-1, 195 pounds) was a rookie riser during the offseason and brings electricity and explosiveness on both offense and special teams. At Oregon in 2024, Benson returned nine punts for 161 yards and a score (85-yarder against USC). The source expects Benson to get primary return looks in Week 1 and beyond alongside Laube.
