Strengths

Perkins is a dynamic athlete at the quarterback position. He wins by getting outside the pocket where he can threaten a defense with his legs. Not just because of the speed but he can be elusive in the open field. Defenses have to come up and play the run when Perkins gets outside the pocket as he will tuck it and run. This does open up some plays downfield where he will chuck the ball.

Perkins can throw the ball from different arm angles and different speeds. Shows some touch with floaters but will sling it if he needs to throw it into a tight spot. Shows the ability to have good accuracy at times. Has adequate arm strength.

Weaknesses

One of the big keys for Perkins to stick at the NFL level will be his consistency. If he gets out of rhythm, his game seems to fall apart. He becomes just a runner at that point of the game. He needs to become more accurate when throwing on the move. He got away with floaters in college that will get picked off at the next level.

Perkins will need a lot of work in going through progressions and reading the field in the NFL. More a of one-read and bail type of quarterback. Had issues with turning the ball over after locking on his lone read while at Virginia. A good third quarterback option while learning the NFL game.

Projection: Day 3
