With the Jets’ first pick of Day 3, they added another face to the backfield.
La’Mical Perine is the perfect complement to Le’Veon Bell, who needs some help in the running back room after neither Ty Montgomery nor Bilal Powell were brought back. Perine projects as someone who can take the load off of Bell, helping equally in the pass-game and running game.
With that said let’s get to know the Jets’ newest running back. Here are four things to know about Perine.
Football Family
La’Mical Perine is from a football family, starting with his father, who played at Auburn.
Perine is also related to Jacksonville Jaguars star linebacker Myles Jack. In addition, Perine’s cousin is former Oklahoma running back and current Miami Dolphin, Samaje Perine.
