Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman Michael Haynes is, like Cedric Benson, a onetime first-round draft pick who became a bust and currently is not employed by an NFL team. So Haynes has an interesting perspective on Benson, and Haynes says it's easy to figure out why Benson washed out with the Bears:"Cedric has always been lazy,'' Haynes said. ''Cedric was lazy when he first got to Chicago, and I guarantee you he is lazy now. It's the work ethic that a lot of teammates didn't like. When I was there and things didn't work out, I always showed up and I always worked hard. I tried really hard, and I never complained.''Haynes also says he objects to being compared to Benson. Haynes says that unlike Benson, he hasn't gotten into off-field trouble, and that unlike Benson, his own failure to make it in the NFL isn't a result of laziness.
