Former Bear Ready to Step up

Former Bears running back Cedric Benson will be wearing a Jets uniform this season, after being traded away by Chicago in the off-season.  Dailysouthtown.com is running a very interesting piece on Benson, in which he has a few choice quotes about his abilities, his past, and his future. It is certainly worth checking out.

The Bears seemed to have issues with Benson early, not willing to make him an every down back.  Benson was also the victim of criticism of his blocking skills.  He believes both of those accusations are patently false, and is apparently relishing the opportunity to convince the world that he is indeed an NFL every-down back that can handle every rigor that comes along with the job.  It seems as though Benson has quite a chip on his shoulder.  It will be interesting to see if that intensity translates to results on the field.
