Jacksonville Jaguars: Can Arrelious Benn catch on this year?

Way back in 2010 a wide receiver by the name of Arrelious Benn was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second round. The receiver had posted one 1000 yard receiving performance in his three-year career at the University of Illinois. It was his freshman season that stood out, though. He set a school freshman record with 43 receptions and 521 yards while leading the Fighting Illini in receiving.

Overall, it wasn’t so much his production in college that led to interest in the NFL as his potential and athleticism. He was a kick returner, occasionally a ball carrier, and a talented wide receiver all rolled into one.
