Strengths
As a redshirt freshman, Bennett emerged as a dependable target for quarterback Aaron Murray as the 2011 season progressed, with 20 of his 32 passes coming after Georgia's sixth game of the season. He's a reliable target that complements the tandem of Malcolm Mitchell and Tavarres King well.
Weaknesses
He can be a deep threat, but because of Mitchell and King, he hasn't really had to be yet—so that question still lingers. He isn't a secret anymore, so it'll be interesting to see how opposing defensive coordinators game-plan against him moving forward.
2012 Prediction
Mitchell worked at defensive back this spring, and while he will probably play both ways, he still will need some time to rest. That will open the door for Bennett to emerge as even more of a threat in 2012.
