Born from the dirt: Travis Benjamin on growing up in Muck City

SAN DIEGO -- Philip Rivers is enamored with his latest playmaker, electric receiver Travis Benjamin.

A free agent addition this offseason from the Cleveland Browns, Benjamin has made a seamless transition to his new team, the San Diego Chargers, bringing with him a new dimension as a speedy deep threat.

"I already knew he was fast, but just getting around him, it is game-changing fast," Rivers said about Benjamin. "Not that we’re just going to heave him a bunch of deep balls. But the threat that he can run by you, it makes every now and then an easy 10 or 12-yard completion.
