Benjamin getting praise on cbssports

Recommended Posts

In the Panthers' preseason game vs. the Chiefs, Benjamin was routinely blowing past defensive backs and getting open deep. Newton targeted him on one such deep pass but overthrew him -- proof positive that their rhythm is a work in progress. He body-caught another target for a 24-yard gain that eventually led to a Panthers touchdown, but again he got open. It's his size-speed combination that had the Panthers drooling during the draft process and Benjamin has put it on display in the preseason.

I haven't played FF since 06', but I can't imagine how a top 5 FF player(I think) in Cam could last until the 7th or 8th rounds this year.  As far as Benjamin, I have a feeling he will surprise everyone in the football world, outside of the Huddle.

 

Basically, a good RB is hard to find these days, so their value is higher than that of other positions. there are 2-3 RBs that can get you 20 pts a game, but there are 5-10 QBs that can do it.

Which is a great example of why FF sucks.  The system is terribly antiquated.  In reality, that situation is flip flopped.  An elite QB is far more valuable than an elite RB.

Kelvin ran a 4.53 in the combine, I wouldn't be surprised if he had a bad day.. KB has blazing speed.

I think his first 20 yard split isn't that fast but I think his stride and top gear are deceptively fast, and that is what seems to set him apart on go routes.

I don't have any proof outside of him blowing past defenders though.

Blowing past defenders that can't catch you has to count for something. :)

    • Linebacker The Panthers have selected decent pass-rushing linebackers in recent drafts, but a three-down player at the position is needed. More than a run stuffer, a linebacker who can cover is an offseason goal. Edge Rusher Nic Scourton played incredibly well as a rookie, but another consistent pass rusher to pair him with is needed, as D.J. Wonnum looks set for free agency. Offensive Line Starting left tackle Ikem Ekwonu tore his patella tendon during the first quarter of the playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He will be out for a while and may miss all of 2026. Interior blockers Cade Mayes and Austin Corbett are set for free agency. MOCK DRAFT ROUND 1: Cashius Howell/Edge/Texas A&M If CJ Allen falls to this spot, I believe the Panthers would scoop him up, but the Georgia linebacker is getting a lot of love in the scouting community. In Howell, they are getting a system fit that could be a terrific pairing with Scourton. He’s also a pass-rushing linebacker who is effective in space.   ROUND 2: Jake Golday/LB/Cincinnati Golday is the three-down linebacker the Panthers’ defense needs, as he’s tough, instinctive, and well-rounded. Dan Morgan will love him  ROUND 3: Michael Trigg/TE/Baylor Carolina has solid tight ends but no true playmakers. They seem to have an aversion to throwing the ball to Ja’Tavion Sanders, and he hasn’t developed as expected. Trigg can get downfield and be a large receiver at the tight end position ROUND 4: Brian Parker II /C/Duke The Panthers could use a guard or center, and Parker, who played right tackle for Duke, projects to either.
