(Bills)Teammates unanimous on (Kelvin) Benjamin: He's going to help us
There have been a host of assessments as to just what kind of difference Kelvin Benjamin is going to make as a new addition to Buffalo's offense since he was acquired via trade last week. Buffalobills.com decided to go to the players who know him best as a player in the Bills locker room for an honest take on what Benjamin can do for Buffalo's attack.
Thompson: He wasn't taller than me
We began with the Bills teammate who has known Benjamin the longest. Fellow receiver Deonte Thompson grew up in the same apartment complex as Benjamin in Belle Glade, Florida. The two along with a host of other neighborhood kids played a countless number of pickup football games through their grade school years. What's surprising is Benjamin wasn't the towering figure he is now back then.
"He was the youngest guy. He wasn't taller than me," said Thompson. "He didn't shoot up until high school. Middle school to high school is when he shot up. He wasn't short, but he wasn't a giant like he is now. He's going to open it up for us here now. I'm excited."
O'Leary: He's a physical freak
Buffalo TE Nick O'Leary was a college teammate of Benjamin's at Florida State, where the two were a part of the Seminoles 2013 National Championship team. On several occasions, O'Leary watched Benjamin makes the impossible seem possible.
"He's a physical freak," O'Leary said. "The things he does makes it look easy, but they're things that are really hard. People aren't able to stop him. He's just so big out there at receiver and running the way he can run. There really isn't anybody like him at that position."
