Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin has only recorded two catches in the last two weeks for the team but it doesn’t seem like he’s interested in putting in a little extra work with his QB.
Before today’s game it was reported that Josh Allen extended an offer to Benjamin to “work on routes” before the game but the Bills wide receiver quickly shut down the rookie QB by saying “no”.
#Bills Josh Allen just asked Kelvin Benjamin if he wanted to work on routes pregame during warm ups.
Kelvin’s answer: No

Earlier this season Benjamin caused a bit of controversy when he blamed his early career struggles on former teammate Cam Newton.
I mean, I felt like I would’ve been even more successful if … I don’t know, man … If I would’ve … Looking back on it, I should’ve just been drafted by somebody else. I should’ve never went to Carolina. Truly, I just think Carolina was bad for me. It was a bad fit from the get-go.
If you would’ve put me with any other quarterback, let’s be real, you know what I’m saying? Any other accurate quarterback like Rodgers or Eli Manning or Big Ben — anybody! — quarterbacks with knowledge, that know how to place a ball and give you a better chance to catch the ball. It just felt like I wasn’t in that position.
