Historically when at 100 percent health, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin is one of the fastest on the field. Unfortunately for Los Angeles, the healthy part of the equation has been a struggle for Benjamin.

A PCL knee sprain last season proved to be an obstacle his speed could not avoid, and 2016 was a disappointing season with only 677 yards for four touchdowns.

Breathe a breath of relief Charger fans. Benjamin claims he’s his old self again. Benjamin told Chargers reporter Ricky Henne, “That was a blessing, man! It’s a blessing to finally be myself again.”

He continued, pointing out his signature speed, how great it was “to finally be able to run fast, play fast and continue to take the top off the coverage and open it up for the other guys.”

That speed will also be much needed on special teams where Benjamin looks to again make an impact as the primary kick-returner.

His full effort will be necessary this season as he competes within a deep receiving corps where he will likely land on the depth chart behind a healthy Keenan Allen and No. 7 draft pick Mike Williams.
