Solid depth pick up. Good insurance as camp rolls on

Weird statement in the Wikipedia Bio about Julio Jones adopting him  in 2016.  "Benwikere was adopted by Julio Jones on October 2, 2016".
Did some looking around about that, and it looks like Julio owned him.

Yes. I believe he got let go because he got burned for 300 yards against Jones.

300 yards was a team stat, Bene' just led the effort giving up 228 of those yards.

But X has held Julio to 27 yards/game.  Benwikere has held Julio to 228 yards/game. 

Zim is splitting the diff, that with proper Vike (Zim + X) tutelage, Benwikere can hold Julio to 128, if needed.  
Solid cipherin', imo.
