Former Chicago Bears running back and Texas Longhorns legend Cedric Benson has reportedly died in a motorcycle accident in Austin, Texas that also claimed the life of an unnamed woman.
The first official word of the accident came from Benson’s brother, Dominic, who posted the following on Facebook.
Benson rose to prominence at the University of Texas, where he finished as the sixth-leading ground gainer in NCAA history with 5,540 rushing yards. As a senior, he won the 2004 Doak Walker Award and was drafted by the Chicago Bears with the fourth pick in the 2005 draft, where he played in Super Bowl XLI. During his NFL career, he also played with the Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers before retiring in 2012.
