Despite forgoing two years of eligibility, Benjamin was still given a first- round grade by the NFL Draft Advisory Board, which is typically conservative with underclassmen draft entrants, and was widely considered one of the top wide receivers in the 2014 NFL Draft. Benjamin’s size, physicality, and high- pointing ability drew parallels to players including Alshon Jeffery and Plaxico Burress. While many scouts were concerned about his hands and a current lack of precise route running at this point, many projected him as a first-round pick due to his potential. Benjamin was selected by the Carolina Panthers with the 28th pick of the first round. NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock praised the Panthers selection of Benjamin after it occurred. “He’s 6-foot-5, 240 pounds with 35-inch arms, and you’re talking about a catching radius.” Mayock then went on to compare Benjamin to other college wide receivers that only had one year of college production. “However, there’s one thing about wide receivers with only one year of college production (like Benjamin at FSU) and it’s a little sobering when you look at the names on that list: Stephen Hill, Greg Little, Devin Thomas, Anthony Gonzalez,” Mayock said.
