“Who the hell is Trinity Benson?”
That’s the question Detroit Lions' general manager Brad Holmes asked his director of pro scouting Rob Lohman when he approached Holmes about possibly adding Benson to their roster.
“When I first watched the tape, I was like, ‘Wow,’” Holmes continued. “He popped off. He had juice. He had explosiveness. His upside as a route runner gets you really excited, for a young guy. And then the more work you do from an intangibles standpoint—he’s a tough kid that’s a hard worker. He’s smart, does things the right way. That’s when I called George (Paton, GM of the Denver Broncos) to see if we could get something worked out.
