Bennett broke out in 2024 for the Raiders, with eight pass deflections and just 23.3 yards per game allowed over 10 games before a torn labrum ended his season. Now
he joins the league’s defending champions, in an Eagles cornerback room that already includes rising stars Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.
Bennett was a two-time All-Big Ten honorable mention during his three seasons in College Park, topping off his tenure with a victory-sealing interception in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl, in which he was the game’s MVP.
