Cedric Benson

Cedric Myron Benson (born December 28, 1982 in Midland, Texas) is a running back in the game of American football. He was drafted fourth overall in the 2005 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. He attended the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in social work, where he received the Doak Walker Award as the nation's leading running back in 2004. He has been compared to Ricky Williams, due to their many similarities. However, due to Williams's bad reputation in the National Football League, Benson has tried to distance himself from Williams. Benson was engaged in an extended contract hold-out with the Chicago Bears, but signed a 5 year deal with the Bears, ending his 36 day holdout. Benson is currently second on Chicago's depth chart at runningback, behind Thomas Jones.
