Lombardi would be all over this.


At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

Is that fast? That seems fast.

Hmmm.....That's fast.

Wouldn't that break CJ2K's record?

This is the NFL.com profile of him... I've disagreed with some of the other thigns they're written about prospects, but haven't gotten to see much of Perriman myself yet.

Originally Posted By: NFL.com

Strengths
Height, weight and speed numbers that every team covets. Quick accelerator off the snap and destroys the cushion, forcing cornerbacks into "turn-and-run" mode. More sudden than most big receivers. Able to break routes off sharply or go from stop to start instantly. Consistent separation at top of his route. Always gets over the top of cornerbacks on verticals. Varies route speed and has ability to body up and box out smaller cornerbacks downfield. Explosive leaper with timing and catch radius to make the difficult catches look easy. Shows off plus body control and ball tracking on deep ball. Able to gear up or down when needed and is a legitimate big-play threat on every snap. Athleticism and long speed for yards-after-catch production. Gives good effort as run blocker.
Weaknesses
Raw in his routes, relying on speed and athleticism over any precision. Rounds routes and is inconsistent at selling and finishing routes that don't involve him as primary target. Sits and waits on the throw rather than working back to it. Redirected in his routes more than expected for receiver his size. Disappointing hands that might always haunt him. Slow catch readiness, allowing too many throws to beat him up. Too much double catching and his focus drops over second half of the season were maddening to watch.
NFL Comparison
Kenny Britt
Bottom Line
Rare combination of size, top-end speed and suddenness that can be found in some of the best receivers in the game. His routes are sloppy and a work in progress, but his hands keep him out of the top tier of receivers. His drops will drive teams crazy, but his physical traits and ability to hit the big play should warrant early round consideration.


reads a lot like DHB, if you ask me.

Danggggggg...

Travis Benjamin ran a 4.36 to put things in perspective. Googled, Chris Johnson ran 4.24.

Everybody runs at least 0.1s faster at their pro day than at the combine.

Disappointing hands on that report bothers me. Can't teach hands...just ask Quincy Morgan the original Bobble doll.

If the guy can't run routes and has bad hands forget him. We've had guys like this before. Doesn't matter how fast he is if he can't catch.

Yeah, but if you keep dropping the donuts.....


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

What good does it do you to get to the end of your route quickly just to drop the ball when you get there?

Don't want to watch Braylon Edwards the sequel. One bad movie was enough.


WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM

For a receiver in the nfl (or anywhere, really), give me a guy with hands. A guy that catches the ball. The next thing is quickness. After that, intelligence in reading a defense correctly. About the last thing I would worry about is his 40 time.

Quickness outbests 40 times 10 out of 10 times.........but if the dude can't catch the ball? Who cares.

Be a "catcher". Be quick, run good routes, be smart. Bam - you're an NFL receiver. If you get caught from behind, big deal. Those throws only occur once every..3 games? 4 games?
