Trey Benson didn't meet Marvin Harrison Jr. until the two were Cardinals draft picks and they arrived in Tempe the day they took physicals and joined the team for the first time. Since then, Benson and Harrison have been inseparable, after Benson found a kindred spirit.

"When I first got here with him, he was just all about work," Benson said. "I was all about work too. So I'm like, 'OK, I'm going to be around him a little more.'"

Benson mentioned that he and Harrison spent almost the entirety of the players' five weeks off before training camp together, working out either in Tempe or in Los Angeles (both were part of Kyler Murray's team-bonding workouts house in L.A.)

Benson joked that the workouts would begin at 7 a.m., although a couple of times he would show up 15 minutes late and get grief from Harrison.

Harrison and Benson -- who had a good second preseason game in Indianapolis -- are expected to have significant roles in the offense. Harrison will be Wide Receiver 1, while Benson is trending to be the top fill-in for starter James Conner at running back.

"(Marv) pushed me to a level that I never thought I had," Benson said.

"He's different. He's a different dude," Benson added. "He's about his business and, you know, that's how I want to be. You've got to be around people that are about that being because you adapt to that."
