How do Kelvin Benjamin’s measurable values ​​compare to other narrow ends?
This section compares his draft training metrics with players in the same position. The line represents the percentile rank of the player. For example, if the bar is halfway, the player falls into the 50th percentile for that metric and that would be considered average.
Mid-season receiver stores are rare – in part because it’s hard to learn a new system on the go – but Benjamin was split with the bills anyway and the results were as expected. In six games, Benjamin failed to clear 75 yards and had more than 50 just once, although missing two weeks with a torn meniscus didn’t help. He scored just one TD with Buffalo and had no impact in the team’s play-off defeat by Jaguar. At 6-5, 245 and with a speed of 4.61, Benjamin is profiled almost as a quick end, not as a receiver, but in any case he creates matching problems for smaller angles and does not have to be open to go down with the ball. The challenge this season will be the team’s defensive team – AJ McCarron, Nathan Peterman and seventh general manager Josh Allen are probably the weakest trio in the league – and the attack is unlikely to create much of a chance for the red zone. On the plus side, Benjamin underwent off-season knee surgery and was a full participant in Bills ’off-season program in April. He is still the No. 1 recipient in the team and it is possible that the QBs will be able to surprise. Coach Sean McDermott said Benjamin looked healthy throughout the OTA, looking slimmer, stronger and faster than in 2017, when he was injured for most of the campaign.
Through two games, during which he passed 13-199-3, it seemed that Benjamin, who was kicked out of ACL surgery for a year, could be the top 10 WR. But from 3 to 17 weeks, he never broke 95 yards, and despite his 6-5, 245-pound frame, he only scored four more TDs. Finally, Benjamin’s different 14.9 YPC (7th) and 8.0 YPT (25th) and the prevailing season can be partly explained by Cam Newton’s weird year – Newton made just 52.9 percent of passes, dead last among the qualified QBs. Despite his size, Benjamin saw only modest work in the red zone – 15 targets, five of which he turned into a TD. Benjamin’s time of 4.61 40 is slowed down, but he is the biggest player in the league, and that rating would be quick for a narrow end. Benjamin struggled with the drops, and at the time of the press coach Ron Rivera expressed concern about his weight. But the team chose Benjamin’s fifth option and he kicks off the season as Newton’s best WR, even though TE Greg Olsen was his main target. The Panthers also made a rematch, Christian McCaffery, with eighth-placed Curtis Samuel in the second lap, but it’s unclear how their presence will affect Benjamin, who usually runs deeper routes. In fact, the departure of a deep threat from Ted Ginn (95 targets) could set Benjamin free for even bigger performances – assuming he gets in shape.
After a productive season for the rookies, albeit one hit by missed passes, Benjamin looked like a Panther receiver in the foreseeable future. He then tore up his ACL at training camp and missed Cam Newton’s MVP campaign. Benjamin wasn’t particularly efficient as a rookie, with just 7.0 YPT and two catches of 40 yards more. But that was in a passing game that generated just 7.0 YPA (22nd) – last year’s Panthers had 7.7 (8). Benjamin is not fast, his 4.6 and 40 times is below average, but with 6-5, 245 he is the biggest player in the league. As such, it is not surprising that as a rookie he managed to take advantage of 17 red zone looks and seven targets within 10 in nine results. Benjamin is on his way to being a full participant in the training camp, and if he proves that he is back to the end, we assume that he would repeat his role as the main target of the team. Last year’s second-round draft pick, Devin Funchess, showed flashes but never affirmed, and speedster Ted Ginn played great games but was fickle and dropped too many passes. Benjamin had several fitness problems during training, which could lead to a limited number of shots at the beginning of the season.
Let’s start with the positives: Benjamin is just one of eight rookies to receive a rookie from the start of the millennium to a 1,000-yard season, and he has scored nine times, mostly because of his massive 6-5,240-pound frame. He did so in a passing game that generated just 7.0 YPA (22nd) and 23 TD passes (T-15s). In contrast, Benjamin averaged a meager 7.0 YPT (31st place among 41 WR leagues), had only two 40-yard catches and tied for the league lead in declines of 10. Benjamin is also on the slow side (4.6 40), although it needs far less separation from opposing DBs given its size and huge catch radius. Going into 2nd year, it was reasonable to predict some improvement, but unfortunately Benjamin suffered a torn ACL in August and will miss the 2015 season.
If any team needed to put together a receiver in the first round, it was the Panthers. When Steve Smith and Brandon LaFell left, Carolina had 31-year-old keeper Jerrich Cotchery and Jason Avant at the top of the depth chart, but two threats to possess veterans were unwilling to reduce her to what is likely to be a competing team. Get into the 6-5, 241-pound Benjamin with the 28th overall pick. He may have slowed down with the right number 1 (4.6 40), and his hands and focus were sometimes questionable in college. But he is a good athlete and a massive target with a large catch radius. Until he is buried in the camp, Benjamin should head through the gate and be a frequent target of the red zone.
