If this guy could be the impact player that Cookie Gilchrist was when we got him after the CFL, it will be another absolute steal.

 

The CFL may just have been the place he needed to help himself. DAMN EXCITED to see this!!!

Curious why he was cut from his CFL team

 

For pursuit of NFL opportunities... they essentially said go for your dream.

Besides the off field problems, the scouting reporting on him is that he isn't very athletic and has trouble separating. But he does have good hands and can make contested catches which is mostly what our offense has been missing anyways.

 

The Kelvin we never knew.

Alshon Jeffrey isn’t fast, but he has soft hands.

 

If this guy can get himself to block, he might stick.  

Having a big WR that will get after it on run plays, is a good guy to have on a team.

 

I don't think he'd do it now, but Alshon's combine 40 was 4:48. Benjamin ran a 4:61.

I think the reference to Alshon's is a good one however. I don't think this guy is a lazy and predictable route runner like Kelvin. Actually plays/runs with more energy and aggression. Wouldn't call him unathletic myself. Good signing IMO. He's got a shot.
