Analysis: Bennett is that rarest of breeds, a tight end who’s equally effective as a blocker in the running game or as a receiver in the passing game. While that versatility makes him a highly sought after commodity, it doesn’t mean he’s a Kellen Winslow/Jonathan Ogden hybrid. Bennett is a good receiver, a large target capable of adjusting to the ball, but he doesn’t have the blazing speed to get open deep. He’s also a willing blocker capable of overpowering defenders with his size and strength. A former basketball star, Bennett is athletic enough to make plays down the field, and what coach is going to frown upon a “skill” position player who actually enjoys blocking? He may require some time to adjust to the next level, but all the tools are there for Bennett to be an extremely effective every-down tight end.
