BenFred: An appreciation of Benny Cunningham

If you haven't heard, Tre Mason and Todd Gurley are almost ready. They're sprinting up and down the practice field. They look fast and healthy. This is great news for the St. Louis Rams.

But before we welcome the backfield of the future, let's give some credit to the guy who's back there now.

I vote to make today Benny Cunningham Appreciation Day.

I'll admit it. I'm a Benny Cunningham fan. But let me introduce you to a bigger one.

Rick Stockstill is preparing his Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders for Saturday's game against Charlotte. He's busy, but he can make time to talk about the former two-star running back who became the heart of his team, the undrafted free agent who didn't let a senior-year-spoiling knee injury derail an NFL dream now in its third season.
