The football world is mourning the loss of Cedric Benson, who passed away this weekend after a tragic motorcycle accident.
During his NFL career from 2005-12, Benson enjoyed a four-year journey with the Bengals from 2008-11. He recorded 1,109 rushes for 4,176 yards and 21 touchdowns across 56 games.
On Sunday, Bengals president Mike Brown issued the following statement on the passing of Benson:
“Cedric was a fine football player for us. He played a principal role for several years here, including a couple of playoff runs. He was from Texas, and he showed his Texas toughness in leading us to a Division Championship in just his second season with us.
