I never would have guessed I would start a Travis Benjamin thread but he's a guy that you will hear about before long.
You may have heard he is a speed guy, correct.
You may have heard his frame is slight, correct.
You may have heard something after the draft about why he wasn't taken till the fourth round, not too big, slight frame, questions about whether or not he'd hold up to the pounding of the NFL and if he can get off the LOS. He is slight and not tall but not short. He has enough scrappyness to get off the line of scrimmage so he's answered that question. He's holding up fine, no signs of him slowing down at all so he can take the pounding.
He runs decent routes and has great hands and he's got chemistry with Weeden so he could be Brandon's go-to guy.
Oh and he does a nice job climbing the ladder and gaining position.
Much as I never would have even guessed in my wildest dreams that this kid would look so good soo soon, or ever for that matter. I have to open up this thread because I think he's going to open up a few eyes, he's impressed me enough to gain my confidence.
