RB/WR Malcolm Perry

Perry returned 40 kickoffs in his college career at Navy, averaging 24.6 yards per return over the 2017 and 2018 seasons. As a late-round selection by the team in 2020, Perry would seemingly have a long-term role with the team but it isn’t apparent whether or not he’ll get a big role as a receiver after the Dolphins infused a number of new talents into the position group this past offseason, including Waddle, Will Fuller and Robert Foster.

It was reported this weekend that Perry is working on his punt return skills by the Miami Herald as well:

“Though he will focus primarily on playing slot receiver this offseason, Perry has the ability to line up at running back or as a Wildcat quarterback. He also is working on his punt return skills.” — Barry Jackson, Miami Herald
