The Carolina Panthers traded wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin to the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday for a 2018 third-round and seventh-round pick. Benjamin was drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Panthers in 2014.
Even though he was injured throughout the 2015 season, he was part of the club when they won the NFC Championship in 2015 and lost to the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. Benjamin had 168 receptions for 2,424 yards and 18 touchdown catches in 40 games over four seasons with Carolina.
Benjamin played for three years at Florida State University and helped the school win their third national championship. His final play with the Seminoles was a game-winning touchdown catch from quarterback Jameis Winston to win the 2013 BCS National Championship against the Auburn University Tigers at the Rose Bowl.
Benjamin attended Glades Central High School in Belle Glade and played with them for four seasons. Just like in college, he caught a touchdown pass, this one from 20 yards away, on his final play with the Raiders in a regular season game at Boynton Beach against the Tigers. Benjamin was ineligible for the remainder of the season because he turned 19 years old and the FHSAA had an age limit for high school athletes. The Raiders eventually made it to the 2010 Class 2A championship game in Orlando and lost to Cocoa 14-13.
