Teams will now know, do not kick it to Travis Benjamin

When he was in college, Travis Benjamin’s best time for the 100 metres was 10.40. That’s not Usain Bolt’s level, but it is not far off world-class, especially for a guy who was spending most of his time playing football at the University of Miami, not sprinting.

So when he came into the NFL with the Cleveland Browns it was no surprise to see him become a punt return specialist because if he gets a run at you, you simply won’t be able to catch him.

Last night, he had the best game of his career, racking up 142 yards on just three returns, capped off by this 79 yarder that resulted in a TD.

After some very quick feet got him out to the sideline, Benjamin was away, and while the Bills tackling was poor, his ability to spin away, change direction, and keep running, was very impressive.

And the Browns won 37-24, so it was a good night all round for Benjamin.
