Wow what happened to KB?

I miss those early days of hope when he was bullying defensive backs. He is not without blame but he was hit with some awful circumstances in a short time. It is sad to see people continuing to pile on him for his physical appearance all these years later but they are just projecting like many do on social media now.

I always wondered if KB could have played TE. I wondered if he had ever tried it, or was asked to by anyone at Car. or Buf.? Probably not here cause Greg was healthy and going off!

For as big as he was, he sucked hard at blocking.

Smitty was 3x the blocker KB was.

If he tried playing TE he’d be like Ian Thomas with better receiving ability. For a big boy he sure played soft.  
 

I do feel bad for KB, though.  After his mom passed it seems like he lashed out at his friends and alienated everybody.  Him and Cam seemed to be tight until then.  A sad story.

Where did Kelvin Benjamin go?
 
He was traded from Carolina to Buffalo due to the Bills needing wide receivers for their playoff run in the 2017 season. After the Bills traded Tyrod Taylor and drafted Josh Allen, Benjamin simply wasn't a fit in Buffalo anymore. The Chiefs opting to bring him in was fine, but at the end of the day, it didn't work out. Benjamin did not play during the 2019 season and is currently a free agent.

Benjamin also impressed as a rookie with 1,008 receiving yards. However, Benjamin missed his second season with a torn ACL and was never the same.

      XL about to turn the corner

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
