Benenoch

Benenoch appeared in one game for Tampa last year after being a 16 game starter in 2018. Detroit signed DE Will Clarke to take his spot.

Benenoch started at right guard in all 16 games for the Buccaneers in 2018 and will provide depth for an offensive line that just lost OL Kenny Wiggins (arm, IR) for the season.

Pamphile spent time at guard and right tackle last season and is working to get acclimated at center. A tackle by trade, Benenoch will also get practice reps inside as a rookie. Like most NFL offensive line coaches, Bucs OL coach George Warhop values versatility from backup offensive linemen.

A tackle who started mixing in at guard late in his UCLA career, Benenoch is a great athlete, but may lack NFL strength. He’ll try to carve out a role as a jack of all trades at the back end of the Bucs’ offensive line group.

Benenoch (6'6/311) closed out his Bruins career with 35 straight starts, mostly at right tackle but mixing in four at guard last year. His strength is movement ability; Benenoch ran 4.98 at the Combine and offers experience in the zone-running game. Benenoch’s weaknesses are his core strength and inability to overpower defensive linemen. He projects as a swing guard-tackle reserve early in his career who could eventually grow into a lower-end starting guard.
