It wasn't a shot at him personally, though I guess I can see how it might come off that way. What I meant to say was, Brock is a first round draft pick and high picks aren't usually asked to sign ATOs as a favor to the team. I think Brock would be taken aback somewhat if Benning were to try that tact, which I'm also 100 percent sure he won't.
His agent would shoot that down straight off anyway. It would make sense were he a project like, say, Joe Labate was coming out of Wisconsin. This stuff has already been decided by precendent.
