Any chance Kelvin Benjamin drops to the 2nd?

Good read if you want an in-depth breakdown from a neutral party.

 

To sum up: slow acceleration, high top-end speed, incredibly strong for receiver, makes tough catches, and drops come from trying to get YAC before the ball gets there. And you can't teach tall.

 

Brief excerpt on the hands:

Quote: 

<p class="">Still, the impression out there is going to be that he drops a lot of passes so he has bad hands. It's hard to argue against that if your audience hasn't also rewatched the game focusing only on him. The truth is there is no way of knowing if Benjamin will get better at concentrating on making every catch as a professional football player.

<p class=""> 

<p class="">Hell, Megatron himself still has bouts of the dropsies at times.

<p class=""> 

<p class="">The question comes down to whether you think he can still be highly productive even if he continues to have concentration issues from time to time.

<p class=""> 

<p class="">My evaluation is that, yes, he would still be a serious weapon in just about any offense even if he has the occasional drop or two. There's precedent. Does the name <a class="" href='http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/3425/terrell-owens'>Terrell Owens</a> ring a bell? Different kind of player in a lot of ways, but T.O. was notorious for dropping easy passes a time or two a game.

<p class=""> 

<p class="">I would say he still managed to have a pretty decent career.
