Buffalo Bills: Kelvin Benjamin is not the number one receiver the Bills need

The Buffalo Bills gave up a 2018 third-round pick last season to acquire Kelvin Benjamin from the Carolina Panthers to help the team down the stretch as they pushed towards the playoffs.

A big bodied receiver at 6-foot-5 and 243 pounds, Benjamin had a successful first season with Carolina as part of famed wide receiver class of 2014 with 73 catches, 1,008 yards and nine touchdowns. He then tallied 63 catches for 941 yards and seven touchdowns in 2016 after missing 2015 with a torn ACL.

What Benjamin has never been is fast.
