Benoit missed the DSFL and was placed on waivers. That in itself was a riveting experience as the waiting game was killer, but the result was so exceptionally fun. Because of this, Benoit only got to experience the NSFL draft but thankfully it made him very happy and was also, a super exciting experience for the youngster who really didn't have much to say during draft day.
In the third round, Arizona would take a shot on Benoit, with the premise that he would be switching positions which they had discussed pre-draft. Blanco felt the team was a great fit from the beginning, the locker room was very accepting, he had some Norfolk friends to join him on the journey and as a very odd situation would occur with the team, for his agent at least.
Blanco learned that shortly after he was drafted by Arizona, his agent ended up becoming the co-gm of the team. It was a very weird scenario but one that kind of just presented itself when he joined. With this information Blanco is now more motivated then ever for this team to succeed and will help in every front possible. We did receive this quote:
"Every day is a new day, and today I was blessed. The draft was exceptional, the experience was one of a kind and this day will forever be cherished by myself, by my family. Not everyday do you see a French, black man get drafted, but today was a different story. I am just happy that I had everyone I loved supporting me, happy for me, and cherishing this moment with me. If it wasn't for them, I would not have felt confident in succeeding, or even be the person I am today. Thank you all, and lets goooooo Arizona!"
