GAME FILM
​#3 ENO BENJAMIN VS ARIZONA (2019)

#3 Eno Benjamin career highlights​

Strengths: He is crafty and an incredible athletic running back that has incredible agility at 210-pounds. He runs the ball with so much power and angrily, and will lay the boom on the defender before they hit him.  It is impressive to watch him as he is a shifty back that shakes underwear out the washer, his cuts that feature a dead leg stutter step is out this world. To add to his shiftiness, he is also elusive in traffic or small space. It is simply impossible to get a solid hit on and him as he makes it difficult for the defender to tackle him, he makes them miss. He can be a weapon from the backfield by catching the ball, turn up the field and productively shake the defender. He has a great nose where the end zone located to score the touchdown.

Weaknesses: He is not a patience runner, as he goes all out every time he touches the ball. Frequently he will not let the play develop and will run directly into the back of the offensive linemen. As a receiver, his lack of patience causes the dismay of his game. He so anxious to get the ball in his hand and turn up the field; he frequently drops passes. He will primarily catch the ball with the body as opposed to his hands. He has small hands and seems to challenge him less using his body. At times he uses too may moves or jukes instead of attacking the linebacker or the open field space.

Draft Grade: 6.16

Draft Projection: 2nd - 3rd round
