Calvin Johnson weighed 239 at his combine weigh-in. Just sayin'.
Ill put my money he won't run a 4.3 Johnson is a freak maybe next year Dorial Green Beckham can match Johnson
You said you wanted to pass on him due to his weight. I was just pointing out that weighing nearly 240 hasn't been a problem for Calvin Johnson, who also happens to be 6'5".
But yes, it is likely he won't run a 4.32 like Calvin Johnson ran. And I'm not comparing him to Calvin, even though his college stats were eerily similar.
Calvin Johnson's third year at GT: 76 catches for 1202 yards and 15 TDs, 15.8 ypc... Never broke 1000 prior to that season.
Kelvin Benjamin's second year at FSU: 54 catches for 1011 yards and 15 TDs, 18.7 ypc... Never broke 1000 prior to that season.
Again, not comparing him to Calvin... yet. It's virtually impossible to project someone becoming a Megatron-level player--part of why Calvin got picked behind JaMarcus Russell.
That said, I wouldn't be shocked if he ran in the neighborhood of 4.5, which would be more than adequate. Dez Bryant ran a 4.52, for comparison.
Bottom line: he's not going to end up at TE.
