Unless you are that one in a million, in any competitive environment there can come a moment when you look across the grid and swallow hard.
"Uh-oh," you realize. "That person is just better than I am."
In football, that person is the guy who runs faster, jumps higher and hits harder. He's the one who sends people to the X-ray machine, the one who people are afraid to tackle or be tackled by, who punishes not out of malice, but out of superior ability.
That person is the best player on the team, maybe the best player in the league. And in the world of Illinois football, that person is Arrelious "Rejus" Benn.
