Lamical Perine has the prototypical build for a pro back at 5-foot-11, 216-pounds.

As Florida’s top runner in 2019, Perine carried the ball 131 carries times for 677 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns. In addition, he was also among the team’s top receivers, catching 40 passes for 262 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns.

Perine is a backup-caliber running back with good hands, balance and vision, which would make him a solid third-down option at the next level.
