Much ado has been made during the Panthers’ voluntary OTA workouts of receiver Kelvin Benjamin and his conditioning.
After a broadcast report surfaced last month that estimated Benjamin, who has a history of struggling to keep the weight on his 6-foot-6 frame in check, was 280 pounds, head coach Ron Rivera was quick to shoot that down. Rivera remarked that Benjamin had reported to team meetings a little overweight, but certainly not at that number.
Rivera said after Thursday morning’s OTAs session that Benjamin has been “outstanding...as you guys can see, he looks great out there.”
Still, the Internet can be ruthless.
