Eric Bieniemy reflects on OL Kahlil Benson's progress after 3 games

Eric Bieniemy, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator, discussed rookie offensive lineman Kahlil Benson's impressive progress after just three games on Thursday. Bieniemy emphasized that every day is a new opportunity for Benson to learn and grow, despite facing both good and bad moments during games.

Benson was recently named the AFC Offensive Rookie of the Month for September, making him the eighth offensive lineman ever to win the prestigious award. Bieniemy acknowledged that although Benson's recent performance may not be one he's particularly proud of, it's a valuable learning experience. He highlighted how Benson's resilience and ability to bounce back from challenges will be key to his development throughout the season.

The offensive coordinator expressed pride in Benson's determination and work ethic, noting that he continues to learn from his mistakes and improve each day. According to Next Gen Stats, Benson has allowed a mere seven quarterback pressures in 106 pass-block snaps, ranking third among all left tackles this season. Bieniemy stressed that the only requirement for his players is to get up and play the next play, figuring out how to improve each time.
