If Cedric Benson’s first interview after being selected by the Bears in the draft is any indication, I feel the Bears have drafted an immature, self-absorbed individual.
It would have been so easy for him to simply thank the Bears for giving him the opportunity to play in one of the best sports cities in American and rattle off a few niceties about hoping how he can contribute a fraction of the greatness Bear fans saw in Walter Payton and Gale Sayers at the running back position.
Instead Benson went off on some disjointed tangent, complaining of his treatment by NFL talent scouts, who correctly were asking him hard questions about his past indiscretions off the field when evaluating his suitability for a job in the NFL.
I hope Benson grows up quickly.
