Michael Bennett is one of the rare athletes in the world who has found his sport come easily to him. It isn’t something he had to work hard at in the college ranks, assuming a standout role with the Ohio State Buckeyes based largely on athleticism.
It worked for the new Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle through college but he saw it bite him in the butt during the 2015 NFL Draft when he kept slipping through rounds before landing with the Jags in the sixth round. There’s no doubt he’s talented, but whether he can work beyond his base athleticism remains to be seen.
