What he brings to the table

La’Mical Peirne is the perfect complement for Le’Veon Bell.

He’s a powerful runner who has the prototypical build for a pro back at 5-foot-11, 216 pounds. Perine is a backup-caliber running back with good hands, balance and vision. He has some lateral quickness to him and can be a dual-threat as a third-down option out of the backfield.

At Florida, Perine was the team’s leading rusher in each of the past three seasons. He started in eight contests in 2017, rushing the ball 136 times for 562 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns in 11 games. As a junior, he added 134 carries for 826 yards and seven rushing touchdowns in 13 games.

In 2019, Perine was once again Florida’s top rusher, having 677 yards on 131 carries and six rushing touchdowns. In addition, he was among the team’s top receivers, catching 40 passes for 262 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns in 13 games.
