26-year old Cedrick Benson is really rewarding the Bengals for their faith in him this season.  He has played in 12 games for the Bengals this season and he has carried the ball 272 times for 1,118 yards (4.1 ypc) with 6 TD runs.  He has also caught 15 passes for 104 yards (6.9 avg) this year.  Benson is proving to be the workhorse type of running back the Bengals have needed for quite some time.
