I copied this from a Den member who went to training camp today. He was commenting on Bentley:

Bill Bently - all I can say is wow! This kids the real deal. He looks like the best CB on the team. He's physical, quick and he can trash talk as well as Delmas. He's made a few mistakes which I expect from a rookie. I could see this kid starting before the seasons out. He looks like the real deal. One thing to note his number is 28 and Delmas is 26 both have dreadlocks, trash talk, and are similar in build. Sometimes it's hard to tell them apart. That's a compliment.


If you watch the video Tullouch was surprised by him as well. I am really excited about this kid and hope that he can be a steal of the draft. If he could improve every week and start by week 14 or so that would be huge for this team.

Burleson has been impressed with Bentley so far as well:
?He's not afraid to get physical,? Burleson said of the 5-foot-10, 176-pound Bentley. ?And young guys usually come in a little undersized, not used to this strength of the game, and then I go in there and try to see what he's made of. I push and shove, I give him a little bit of tough love physically and he responds right back. He's not afraid to grab a little bit which a lot of DBs do and that's a big part of the game, especially when he's playing in the slot.?

?He's a guy that when you watch him, you see him grow everyday,? linebacker Stephen Tulloch said of Bentley. ?I didn't hear about him until he came here, but he's definitely a guy that people are going to know about pretty soon.?
