Cedric Benson was a Texas Longhorn running back legend and went fourth overall to the Chicago Bears in the 2005 NFL draft. Though he didn’t quite live up to the hype in Chicago, Benson did have some good years once he landed with the Cincinnati Bengals before ultimately ending his career in Green Bay where he was limited to just 5 games thanks to a foot injury in 2012.
According to reports, Benson and a woman were killed when a minivan crashed into his motorcycle when trying to cross an intersection at Mt. Bonnell Rd. around 10:20 p.m. Cedric Benson will be missed.
Rest in Power.
