Benaitis is a 6’1″ safety with a strong frame . Goes after ball very aggressively over the middle.  Cuts in front of receivers for interceptions.  Good back pedal and can transition quickly forward.  Separates the ball from pass catcher.  Nose for the ball and is a hard hitter.  Like what he brings as a centerfielder and his instincts in the middle of the field.  Also brings value as a core special teams player including as a long snapper.
