Steven Bench brings dual-threat experience and proven poise to the QB room
Bench is a former South Florida quarterback with a legit dual-threat profile: in 2015 he appeared in seven games, threw for 177 yards and two passing scores, and added 62 rushing yards plus a rushing touchdown, while his 2014 spring-game showing (317 passing yards, 3 TDs) highlighted his ability to operate efficiently when in rhythm. He also showed pro-day athleticism with a 4.55-second 40 and a 35.5-inch vertical, which supports his mobility and playmaking fit. The downside is consistency: his career passing efficiency was modest, so he profiles more as a useful, adaptable depth QB than a polished starter.[1][2][5]
