KB wanted to play for Carolina

[KendrickPanther]

It's great that he loves being a Panther. But why would this be a good thing? If he means it as a joke, OK. But why would a player tanking his draft stock be a good thing?

[Lemory]

I mean, he did run by Sherman a couple of times.

If KB would have in fact ran a 4.41forty at the combine,then he would have never made it out of the top 7 picks,imo.but,i do see him gaining speed after those first 40 yards with his build or frame and gaining quite a bit of speed horizontally or vertically and becoming more difficult to defend,being more of a deep threat than one would imagine.either or,i am just tickled pink he feel to number #28,which was a real deal and a big time steal.

Benjamin is a 'game speed' guy, not a 'track speed' one.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

im mostly sure he's joking

[PantherPhann89]

If this is true, why would you announce it now or ever...

The more I think of it, I really believe the Panthers FO had the first round pick already in mind. KB was going to be our guy and KB wanted to play here. Now connect all the dots; Ricky going to FSU (I think twice), KB blowing off a NFL coach workout and the Panthers philosophy on getting bigger. I think KB and the Panthers were in cahoots. Panthers already knew KB inside and out before the draft, the KB incident of dismissing a NFL coach was a false flag to get KB to fall in our laps and deter other teams from giving interest. This is just a farfetched theory but however KB came to be ours I am happy for Cam and excited about the Panthers future!

From what I've seen, he doesn't really seem to be that slow. He consistently beats corners, but I will admit he sucks YAC. I am hoping that this is an area that he will grow in, maybe even more so with another OC.

I had a feeling that this was his choice of destination. Glad he's here. Win, win situation.

KB didn't even attend the draft at Radio City Music Hall ,so,i have to agree that he wasnt necessarily trying to reach out and appease various suitors,during the entire draft evaluation process.

And I wanted to go to East Carolina so bad that I took the SAT hungover.

Suck it Harvard.

KB lacks the time in order to let a play develop downfield as a result of our oL.

Hahahaha.........hahahaha and I thought I was the only one that had that happen too.

I don't think he's slow.  He's not 'Megatron' fast either, though.
