The famous Christian Benford is an American football cornerback for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League. He played college football at Villanova.
Benford played in nine games with eight starts as a true freshman and was named the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Defensive Rookie of the Year and third-team All-CAA after making 49 tackles with six pass breakups and five interceptions. He played in ten games with seven starts as a sophomore and broke up five passes with one interception. Benford was named first-team All-CAA in his junior season, which was shortened and played in the spring of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. As a senior, Benford recorded 39 tackles with seven interceptions and an NCAA Division I FCS-leading 18 passes broken up and was again named first-team All-CAA.
Benford was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the sixth round, 185th overall, of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Benford was one of the two starting CBs for the Bills in their week one 31-10 drubbing of reigning Super Bowl LVI Champs the LA Rams. Wearing #47, Benford totaled three tackles and one PDF (pass defended) and was very present and in excellent coverage position throughout the night.
Who are his father and mother?
Currently, there is a fact about Christian Benford’s parents and siblings but when you hear the story behind the tattoo, you realize that the 22-year-old from Baltimore has faced far more difficult situations in his life than trying to buck the odds of a small-school player and late-round draft pick earning a spot with an NFL team.
It’s a half-filled heart because I’ve lost so many people, Benford explained the other day following practice at St. John Fisher University. I lost my mom, some of my closest friends, best friends, and some people that I call my sisters and my brothers. It’s like a part of my heart is gone.
