If you are looking for insight into the Carolina Panthers wide receiver situation, I strongly recommend you give this interview with Ricky Proehl a good listen. He provides a lot of insight on what he has seen so far, and on the position group as a whole. but the most surprising tidbit comes in around the 15 minute mark.

"It doesn't work out in New York. He's a bust. He's this, he's that, he comes here, doesn't say a word, goes on our practice squad 2 years ago. Busts his tail every day, never complains, never says a word. We work on his game. Attacking the ball, being aggressive, don't worry about dropping, just attack the football. He's got big hands. He comes into camp last year... he's killing it. You ask Cam Newton. It may have been Kelvin and Stephen Hill as our starters. He was getting ready to make me famous as a coach. That's what I told him." -- Ricky Proehl commenting on Stephen Hill

Then of course, fate intervened for both Kelvin and Hill, but Proehl talks at length in the interview about how they have both been pushing each other throughout this rehab process, and that Proehl feels that because of Stephen Hill's presence and that mutual hardship they endured, that both players are farther along than many would be when they sustain that injury. Earlier in the interview, Proehl claims that "Kelvin is ready right now, we are just being smart."

The thought of the potential of Stephen Hill has teased Panther fans for awhile now, and we still have to see it in live action... but to think the coaches were strongly considering Benjamin and Hill as that starting duo last year in camp?? Goosebumps of excitement. It is going to be a great camp battle to watch.
