A third-round draft choice of the Eagles in 2013, Bennie
Logan has been a dependable force and productive
member of the Eagles defensive line from the
nose tackle position. The Coushatta, LA, native helped
anchor LSU’s defensive line and wore the famed #18
jersey during his final season in Baton Rouge.
BIRDSEED
• Credits his grandmother, Ella Faye Bonner, and his
cousin, Harry Gary, as the two biggest influences
in his life. “My grandmother is my hero because
when my mother passed away, she took me in
and raised me from junior high to high school and
even helped me through college,” said Logan. “My
cousin, Harry, pushed me to work hard and motivated
me and stayed on me. He paid for me to go to
LSU’s camp and that’s when I really came onto the
scene. Without him helping me by paying for me to
go to the camp and by pushing me to work hard, I
wouldn’t be in the place that I am.”
• If Logan could trade places with one person for one
day, he would like to experience what it is like to be
homeless. “I come from a background that wasn’t
the best and it would be interesting to see how it is
to live without a house and to have to look for food
every day. It would make you more appreciative and
would make you stop taking things for granted.”
• Believes that if he wasn’t playing football, he would
be in the law enforcement field, either as an FBI
agent or a U.S. Marshal. “Growing up as a little kid,
I always wanted to be a firefighter or a police officer,”
Logan stated. “As I got older, I learned more
about the expert fields of law enforcement. I started
watching more shows about the U.S. Marshals and
the FBI and saw all the things that they do. It made
me want to travel all over the world and hunt for
fugitives like they do.”
• Named the “Game of the Century,” a 2011 match-up
between unbeaten LSU and Alabama as his favorite
college game. It was the first time two undefeated
SEC teams met as the #1 and #2 ranked teams in
the country. LSU won a defensive struggle, 9-6
