Roster Review: What Travis Benjamin will bring to the Chargers offense

When the San Diego Chargers lost Malcom Floyd to retirement, they may have actually upgraded the position by adding free agent WR Travis Benjamin from the Cleveland Browns.

When reading other medias offseason grades or comments about certain players, you can tell who actually watched the guy play and who did a quick stat check, looked at his height/weight/speed, and made some assumptions. In this case, Travis Benjamin fell victim to the latter. He's 5'10, under 180 pounds, so he has to be a slot receiver, right? Not even close.

Before San Diego signed Benjamin, I wrote how he was more than just a deep threat and was 1 of 2 receivers that fit what the Chargers need on offense.
