27-year-old football wide receiver Trinity Benson, who played college football for the East Central Tigers, entered the NFL in 2019 with the Denver Broncos. However, his first stint to play football professionally remained unfulfilled at the first hand.
The Denver Broncos disqualified Trinity just three months after he signed the contract with the team as an undrafted free agent. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t make money from his three months association with the team.
According to Spotrac reports, his $1,765,000 contract with the Broncos at the time granted him a signing bonus of $10,000 and a guaranteed amount of $10,000.
Further, his average annual salary was estimated at $588,333 at the time; in that case, Trinity Benson made about $147.083 from his three-month tenure on the team, which helped him boost his net worth.
After that, the Broncos traded him to the Detroit Lions, and he played for the team for a year. According to several sources, he earned an average salary of $870,000 while playing for the team.
During his association with just two teams, he already succeeded in amassing more than $1 million.
Further, from 2022 to 2023, Trinity Benson had a short association with three teams, once again, the Broncos and Lions, from which he probably earned a decent amount that contributed significantly to his estimated net worth of $1 million.
Trinity Benson was initially anticipated to make a great career in the NFL!
According to the Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell, Trinity Benson was pretty energetic as a player and dedicated to his task. While talking to the Detroit News in 2022, Campbell said,
Look, to this kid’s credit … he came up (to me) after the season (and) he was like, ‘Coach, what do I got to do? What do I really need to do?’ And we talked about it and he took it serious. He’s always put in the work. It’s a credit to him.

Meanwhile, Campbell further stated that Trinity could be the gunner if he kept playing the way he played that spring.
Likewise, Broncos GM George Paton also praised Trinity Benson, saying he is a ‘success story,’ saying, “He came from nowhere and for him to develop into an NFL wide receiver — we had a lot of teams calling on him — I think it’s a great story and the credit goes to Trinity.”
Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out for Trinity as people expected. Despite being one of the most prospective players, his career in the NFL was inconsistent. Now, it’s been a year since Trinity Benson hasn’t played for any team.
However, there’s still a chance he could make a grand comeback to the NFL and stand firmly over people’s faith in him. Who knows if something great is destined for Trinity Benson in the coming time?
