It’s no secret that Kelvin Benjamin came into Organized Team Activities overweight.
Ron Rivera has addressed the issue and says Benjamin is working himself into shape. Β Benjamin says he wants to be in the best shape of his life for the 2017-18 season.
On the first day of Organized Team Activities, a video of Benjamin running a route emerged on Twitter, and the twitterverse weighed in on Benjamin’s speed, or lack thereof.
Benjamin is a big guy and has never been a speed receiver, so judging his speed from a video of an off season workout is pointless.
A 2015 knee injury and hamstring issues in 2016 slowed Benjamin, but Panthers’ fans should be confident that Benjamin will be a professional and show up ready to excel at the beginning of the 2017 season.
