You might have forgotten about him, since the Carolina Panthers rumbled their way to the Super Bowl despite his absence, but Kelvin Benjamin is back.

“It’s not about encores, it’s not about looking back”, Newton said.
“Traveling and being here, being there, making family time, doing something I’ve never done with the TV show, from the partnerships that are already things that you have to do contractually”, Newton said, via Bill Voth of Black and Blue Review.
Olsen said he sees that every day.
Now it’s about finding ways to stay ahead of the opposition he’ll face between the lines.
And though there’s little information out there about the workouts Benjamin went through, we got a glimpse of his new and improved body in an Instagram video he posted a few months ago, in which he balances on a BOSU ball while catching passes with one hand like it was nothing. Safety Kurt Coleman, says their group is wasting no time on developing that bond and that is what training camp is all about, but only time will tell how it will develop. We’re not even preparing for Denver. “… We have passed that bridge and I have learned from it. Now it’s about making the most of this team”.
He said that is what makes Newton special. You hear guys talk about it all the time: You don’t get this everywhere.
“As Mr. (Jerry) Richardson (the Panthers” owner) says: “the layups, the gimme throws”, Newton said. Yeah, you can throw the comebacks and the digs, but what about the check-downs and slants?
Thursday night, as the Panthers took the practice field at Wofford College for the first time, Newton exuded the confidence and enthusiasm we’ve come to expect.

Newton became the first National Football League player with five seasons of 3,000 passing yards and 500 rushing yards and the first with at least 30 TD passes and more than seven TD runs in a season. “We just have to find ways to keep it up and find ways to keep getting better”.
