The Cowboys felt that they needed another TE after trading Anthony Fasano to the Dolphins so that’s the reason for the drafting of Bennett.  Bennett is a big guy at 6’5″, 250 pounds and he runs a 4.6 40 so he has the physical skill to succeed in the NFL.  But, coaches say that he doesn’t always work hard and that could be a problem in the NFL.  Bennett played in 36 games (24 starts) at Texas A&M and he caught 102 passes for 1,197 yards (11.7 avg) with 9 TD grabs.  He will likely back up Jason Witten and be on the field if the Cowboys go to two TE sets.
