Buffalo Bills: Team growing confident in young receivers
It’s safe to say the Kelvin Benjamin experiment did not work out for the Buffalo Bills. Instead, the team has opted to go with a younger group at receiver.
The Buffalo Bills gave up a third and seventh-round draft pick to acquire the 6-foot-5 pass catcher at the tail end of last year’s NFL trade deadline. Since coming to Buffalo, Kelvin Benjamin tallied just 39 catches for 571 yards in 18 games.
The former first-rounder had been phased out of the offense over the last few weeks. Benjamin had been relegated to 57 percent or fewer offensive snaps in three straight games.
Thus, after 18 games as a Buffalo Bill, Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott had enough.
