Strengths

Strong runner who has no issues with taking punishment with his running style. He is physical and has a nose for the goal line when playing in the redzone. A player who will dip his head and run right into the line hoping to plow his way into the end zone.

Perine will be a good back in the NFL if a team is looking for a downhill runner. He can find holes with his vision. Not to mentions there are low miles on his tires so that is a big plus. He can also contribute on special teams which will help him make a roster in 2020.

Weaknesses

The biggest problem in Perine’s game will be his elusiveness, in that he doesn’t possess any. Very much a one-gear runner in the NFL so teams won’t have a problem chasing him down. He will need to win with technique rather than with speed. He isn’t a guy that will be a home run hitter.

Perine needs to work on technique with protecting the quarterback. He likely won’t see the field on known passing situations for that reason alone. His lack of burst won’t allow him to beat defenders to the edge so running inside will be where he needs to focus.

Projection: Day 3
