Bennifield went to Knoxville on Monday and competed in Tennessee's. The former Mocs quarterback, who threw for 2,622 yards and 26 touchdowns as a junior before a suspension and an injury left him with only 15 snaps as a senior, ran a 4.8-second 40-yard dash Monday in Knoxville and threw well on both days.
"A lot of the scouts were impressed," Bennifield said. "The only thing I'm concerned about is impressing the guys that can possibly get me in the NFL. That's why everyone is here, hoping to get a foot in the door. No one here is a No. 1 pick, so we have a chip on our shoulder because we're behind."
