5 Best Cleveland Browns fourth round draft picks since 1999
By Joseph Cantz
1. Travis Benjamin, WR, 2012-2015
Travis Benjamin was a speedy deep threat selected out of the University of Miami in the fourth round of the 2012 draft. His ability was mostly based on his speed (he ran a 4.36 40 at the combine that year) and he was slight in frame.
He was an effective return man but struggled with catching a punt cleanly in college and in the pros. Benjamin is another former fourth-round pick that didn’t really do much right away; he was reliable when called upon and really earned his keep as a return man, as he had three touchdown returns during his time in Cleveland.
His most memorable moment probably comes during the biggest road comeback victory in NFL history against the Tennessee Titans, a game in which he caught the touchdown that sealed the comeback.
His jersey, along with quarterback Brian Hoyer’s, was on display in the Hall of Fame for the rest of the season. Benjamin had his best year in 2015. He tallied 966 yards and 5 touchdowns, both second on the team behind Gary Barnidge.

The speedy wideout left in free agency to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers and is still on their roster to this day, although he hasn’t seen much success with the Bolts.
