Simple, said the new Detroit Lions receiver.
"I’m just a football player, man," Benson said. "I’m just a kid from Texas who likes to play football."
One of two receivers acquired at last week's roster cut deadline, Benson called the trade that brought him to Detroit from the Denver Broncos "a blessing in disguise."
The Lions traded fifth- and seventh-round picks to Denver for Benson, who spent two years on the Broncos practice squad after going undrafted out of tiny East Central University. The Lions also received a 2023 sixth-round choice in the deal.
