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.
