I brought him up in the Etiene thread when nobody else had mentioned him. That surprised me because the kid has it all ...vision, speed to take it the distance, contact balance, receiving skills (Gators lined him up everywhere), etc. Zero career fumbles.
He was voted Senior Bowl practice player of the week and had a nice one-hand snag on a screen for a TD in the game.
Im fully aware of the other backs in this class and what they bring to the table but Perine absolutely wreaks of a Brett Veach steal. [Reply]
I like his contact balance, but I don’t see a lot of burst or explosion with him.
It will be interesting to see how the RBs at the Combine test. I love Akers in a Reid offense but expect him to go off at the Combine, thus becoming unattainable come draft time. [Reply]
