SJ - May 16, 2021

How many other former first-round draft picks are going to switch positions to tight end? Former first-round wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin joined former first-round quarterback Tim Tebow by signing with the Giants as a tight end.

The move by Benjamin to tight end is far more likely to be a successful one than Tebow's is. He already was the size of a tight end during his playing days.

Benjamin's problem was he couldn't ever get open when a corner was covering him. He had to rely on his size in order to make plays.

At tight he'll have much better match-ups and a much easier diet for him to stick to.
