Bradley William Benson (born November 25, 1955, in Altoona, Pennsylvania) is a former professional American football player. He was an offensive lineman with the New York Giants of the National Football League from 1978 to 1988. He was a pivotal member of the 1986 Giants team that defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI. He was selected to play in the 1986 Pro Bowl.
He played collegiately at Penn State University from 1974 to 1976 and attended Altoona Area High School in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He currently resides in Flemington, New Jersey where he owns a chain of auto dealerships. Due to the creative nature of Benson's widely-aired television and radio commercials (which have featured Lawrence Taylor going on humorous but swear-filled tirade and Benson making light of former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey), it is quite possible that his popularity has grown since his days as a Giant.
