Former NFL RB Cedric Benson was one of two people who died in a motorcycle accident early Sunday morning in Austin, Texas, according to Tony Plohetski.
Family and friends of Benson have reportedly confirmed the news.
Benson, 36, is a former first-round pick of the Bears back in 2005. He spent three years in Chicago before he was released and later signed by the Bengals.
