“You can’t teach a 6-5, 240 with a 34-inch arm length and 10-inch hands,” Gettleman , and “This guy has unusual ball skills. He’s got what we call a very big strike zone.” was said by Dave Gettleman.
Benjamin has plenty of big-game experience, with the last-minute, game-winning touchdown in the BCS title game, a play on which was obviously drawn up for him.
