07/27/2010 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers came to terms with rookie wide receiver Arrelious Benn on a four-year contract on Tuesday.
Financial details were not disclosed.
Benn was selected in the second round -- 39th overall -- by Tampa Bay in the 2010 draft out of the University of Illinois.
In three seasons with the Fighting Illini, the wideout totaled 159 catches, which was good for a tie for fourth in school history, and his 2,221 yards ranks sixth. Benn also pulled in seven touchdown passes and had one or more catches in 35 of 36 games during his collegiate career.
His best season came as a sophomore when he became the fourth player in Illinois history to surpass 1,000 receiving yards and first since the 2002 season. In 2008 he was named the team's most valuable player and achieved First-Team All-Big Ten honors.
Benn also accumulated 3,615 all-purpose yards with the Illini.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
