Last week, hardly anyone knew who Trinity Benson was.
This week, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has fielded questions about what the receiver’s role might be in his team's NFL season opener against the San Francisco 49ers at Ford Field.
The Lions acquired Benson in a trade last week with Denver. They sent the Broncos fifth- and seventh-round picks for the receiver who went undrafted out of tiny East Central University in Oklahoma. The Lions also received a 2023 sixth-round choice in the deal.
Campbell said he sees Benson, who is 6 feet and 180 pounds, playing inside and outside.
