Honestly, I'm not so sure he will breakout. Hope he proves me wrong Well out of all the times i've seen him get a chance to be on the field he runs good routes and has the ability to get open, but it just seemed like he couldn't hold on to the ball. I do think Trotter to Benton sounds really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraSwagnus 1 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 fwiw he played the same position as darvin adams(x receiver)....darvin rarely came out i think Benton will definitely come along, im not expecting production like Darvin but who knows, noone saw Darvin coming back in 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurules16 0 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Benton is the physical reciever we have been missing. Mark my words. Blake and Benton will be starting opposite each other come Utah State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniebrownfan 1 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Got to remember in this offense our WR's MUST block well on a consistent basis. It could be this is what is preventing Benton from seeing the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think Trotter to Benton sounds really nice. I agree. He runs crisp routes. He dropped just about everything that was thrown his way the first half of 2009 and he hardly saw the field except on special teams after that. I think he'll prove to be a great receiver for us this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange and Blue 17211345162833 0 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Trooper has been very high on Benton since the beginning. He promised that records will be set with this kid. Benton has been through injuries and has missed football for two years. He's has all the athletic ability in the world, its just a matter of him staying healthy to reach his full potential. 2011 just might be the year.

Darvin Adams is to blame for that, Taylor said. "He's in a tough spot because he backs up Darvin, and Darvin doesn't come out a lot,'' Taylor said. “(Benton) has helped us on special teams, and there are a few specific plays we have for him if the defense gives us ‘that’ look. But he’s improved a bunch.†Benton missed most of August camp with a broken hand, an injury that garnered little sympathy from Taylor. He caught six passes as a freshman last year, all of which came in Auburn’s homecoming rout over Furman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGGR82 4 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I could see him as the #2 or #3 receiver behind Blake, maybe Lutz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pram92 0 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I still think benton may get passed up in the fall but appearently the LA trio is making an impression this spring. Wide receivers coach Trooper Taylor acknowledged how young his receiving corps is. “It’s going to take time – take time with the quarterbacks, take time with their routes,†he said. “It’s a work in progress.†Said he’s been impressed so far by Trovon Reed and DeAngelo Benton, who he said has had his best two practices. Benton has a fresh outlook this spring after being hampered by injuries. He had a wrist injury in August last year, then hurt his ankle against Kentucky. But he’s healthy now and feels like he has an understanding of the offense. “It’s an opportunity for everyone,†he said. “Nobody has the starting spot right now. So it’s an opportunity to compete and go against each other every day to get better.†Trooper on Benton: “If he’ll stay healthy, everything I’ve told you about DeAngelo as far as setting record, he has all that ability. But he’s just got to stay healthy. If he stays healthy, he’ll hit everything we talked about.†Injuries are obviously a concern in the thing receiving group. Travante Stallworth tweaked a hamstring and was held out Saturday. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't play an entire year of football prior to getting to Auburn, but now I believe its his time to shine. The WR depth chart is WIDE OPEN this year. Benton, Carr and Blake will be the starters IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
