This will be his story for ten years, get used to it

The sandwich don't care who eats it!

10 lbs over last season's weight doesn't seem like much, but 2 hamstring injuries already isn't good.

Benjamin is one of those guys that could go down as the greatest of all time with a better work ethic... He's the type of guy that will look like a freakin' superstar during his "contract years" and very average the rest of the time. He was in the same pattern at FSU.

Under rated comment.

In theory he was actually a superstar at FSU a year before his "contract" year. In other words, he didn't wait until his senior year to go beast.

Some kids just don't have what it takes upstairs to push themselves physically. Would not surprise me if he's out of the NFL in 3 years.

I wish I could say I'm shocked, but I'm not.

 

[FlashFSU]

Oh noes, he's 4% above his playing weight from last year. He's like some kind of obese monster. He played a role as a dinosaur in Jurassic World.

Damn, you guys are harsh.
It is June 18 and he's apparently 4% over his playing weight.
I can't imagine he'd lose those 10lbs running around in the 100 degree sun for the next 2 months.
In any event he certainly isn't going to eat himself out of the league in 3 years a la Jamarcus the Buffet Russell.

In before the "shirtless pics" comment

Let's be honest, he was almost definitely planning on leaving after his Junior year. He's also older than most juniors so he may have seen the clock ticking.

Type of weight makes all the difference.

That link is the Carolina GM saying the report on kelvin is 'much to do about nothing' he said it's the media just trying to create news... Wouldn't shock me either way

2014 we coulda had Timmy, KB & Devonta still on the team. Thats crazy. Def coulda used KB & Timmy. I LOVE Freeman but cook eased that pain.

Damn people are harsh on the kid. Hope he gets it straightened out. Was hoping to draft him in fanasty.
