It looks like former Longhorn and first-round draft choice Cedric Benson has made a deal to get the same jersey number he has worn his since high school days. Benson was drafted by the Chicago Bears franchise and joins other former Longhorns Vance Bedoford and Nathan Vasher. Before making arrangements to get his favorite number from Todd Johnson (S), Benson was quoted as saying "We'll try to work it out, but if doesn't work out ... I never thought about another number.
