Growing up in South Florida, Travis Benjamin earned a nickname built through his reputation for speed.
They called him the "Belle Glade Blur."
One of the fastest wide receivers and return specialists in the NFL, the Cleveland Browns free agent has piqued the Texans and several NFL teams' interest because of his combination of speed and explosiveness, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly.
Benjamin's blend of playmaking skills and acceleration is precisely what the Texans' offense and special teams have been lacking. Benjamin could provide a deep threat to complement Pro-Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and inject their special teams with the ability to score or create shorter fields through better field position.
