Jacksonville Jaguars: Bringing Arrelious Benn back an underrated signing

Arrelious Benn has one of the more tumultuous careers in the NFL. As a young wide receiver with high potential, it was expected that Benn could immediately step in for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a second-round pick and make some magic happen.

Instead, Benn’s career was derailed by injury and he didn’t make an impact for anyone. From 2012 to 2016, Benn didn’t contribute for a single team, being placed on injured reserve repeatedly by the Philadelphia Eagles after being traded over.

2016 was when he finally caught on. Way down on the Jacksonville Jaguars depth chart, Benn managed to contribute five receptions for an astonishing 116 yards and one touchdown.
