Rookie Wide Receiver Update

[Admiral Ackbar]

Just an update on the rookie wideouts throughout the NFL. Beckham as you know, has came on real strong within the last few weeks, but so has Mike Evans. Our own Benji is still hanging in there but will need to come up big these last 3 weeks to make his case for the OROY. Even if he does not get the award and doesn't catch another ball this season you have to think that he was a great success in his first season and he definitely exceeded my expectations.

 

Here are the Stats:

Body Slams and Peoples Elbows delivered

 

Kelvin Benjamin    1

OBJ will win it 100%. Only 100 yards less than the leader and he missed like 5 or 6 games.

4 games

[ecu88]

Mike Evans or OBJ will win unless KB goes off the last three games .

[Ivan The Awesome]

Kelvin needs to have some spectacular games in order to get that award. 

[carolina-chuck1]

OBJ already won it

[Ken]

OBJ is insane. LOL

[PantherBoy95]

Yeah the hype train for OBJ is insane whether he deserves it or not.

 

 

Honestly, KB will be a monster I pray, especially if we get someone else on the opposite side/ some protection for Cam. 

But many of his big plays seemed to happen in garbage time for us.  Lastly if he were to catch the EASY balls his stats would be so much greater.

I'd rather see him make the acrobatic catches though, because the easy ones should come with time. The others can't be taught.

[AceBoogie]

No excuse for not coming out of the draft without another one of those guys.

He does, there's no debating it. He was the most complete WR in the Draft last year and should have been the first off the board.

Agreed. I wish we got John Brown.

Games played would have given a more accurate picture. Games started would have been even better.

We need get Pharoh Cooper in 2016 when he comes out. Yes I know I am a Gamecock loving homer lol
