Benson was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft with the 66th overall pick.[9] On July 18, 2024, Benson signed his four-year rookie contract with the Cardinals.[10] Benson made his NFL debut in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season and rushed for 13 yards on three attempts and recorded one reception for five yards. In Week 10 of the 2024 season, Benson rushed for 62 yards on 10 carries and had two receptions for 25 yards in a 31–6 win against the New York Jets. On December 31, Benson was placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury that caused him to miss Weeks 16 and 17.[11] Benson finished the season with 291 yards and a touchdown on 63 carries and 59 yards on six catches.[12]

Benson began the 2025 season as Arizona's second-string running back behind James Conner. After Conner suffered a season-ending injury in Week 3, Benson became the team's primary back.[13] However, Benson suffered a meniscus injury in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks, and was ruled out for 4-to-6 weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery.[14]
