Kelvin Benjamin

Im bias cause ive been a fsu fan since charlie ward but, this guy is a poor mans calvin johnson. He gets all the jump balls, breaks huge tackles i luv this guy. Anyone else digging this guy?
ME!!! I'm also an FSU fan
Like him a lot. FSU fan here too. Might as well put him on the 49ers if he comes out.
The good thing is he's a type of player the staff and scouts like; big, physical, strong and a huge upside. Definitely a player baalke will and should target whenever he comes out.
Haven't gotten a chance to check him out yet. Waiting to see if he declares. If he does, he is right up there with my top 10 based ff of what I have heard of him.
Benjamin doesn't have the speed of Calvin, but he has every other asset. Could be a lot like Alshon Jeffery, except bigger.
Redshirt Sophomore, right?
This guy reminds me of a Fitz or Boldin - they didn't time that well in the 40, but they are monsters on the field.

1. locates the ball very naturally
2. times to get it at the high point
3. breaks tackles
4. Amazingly, despite his slow time get's behind defenders

Those are great signs for a receiver. I'd take all those over a 40 time.

Yes. He's eligible, although I haven't really heard anything about him entering the draft. My guess is he doesn't go anywhere until next year and then goes very high, considering another strong season + underclassmen declaring this year, inflating his 2015 stock.

Agree. From what I have read they say he is also one of if not the fastest guys on the FSU football team. Would be surprised but not shocked if they win the championship and he has a monster game and declares.

Haven't seen him.

Based on what you guys say - is he top 5, top 10 or Where?

The catch from the ACC title game that made everyone go !: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDUGdtYq1II

If he declares I don't think he lasts past the 20th pick but I may just being overly optimistic cause I've watched him all season and I'm a real fan of his ability.

IMO I want him to go back to school for 1 year and come out with Dorial Green-Beckham from Mizzou and Austin Hill from Arizona, plus many more. The WR classes the next 2 years are insane.
