It's tough right now for Florida State alumni, seeing their fabled football program implode on the national stage on New Year's Day. Not even players bearing championship rings elude grief, particularly if said players happen to have Oregon alumni in their midst.
This time last year, Kelvin Benjamin was catching passes for the Noles, specifically a national championship-winner against Auburn. Today, he's a member of the playoff-bound Carolina Panthers. Unfortunately for him, so too is Brandon Williams, tight end and proud Oregon alum.
Williams and Benjamin had a war of words running all week in the Panthers locker room, and on Friday, Benjamin had to pay up and don Williams' old Oregon jersey. Per Jonathan Stewart's Instagram:
Brutal. Though Oregon fans probably like the look of that regardless.
Williams and Benjamin, along with the rest of their new teammates, will take on the Cardinals on Saturday afternoon in the first round of the NFL playoffs.
