Second-year running back Paul Perkins started off his career in style, showing his elusiveness and insane agility throughout the 2016 season.

The New York Giants rookie finished off the 2016 season with 456 yards on 112 attempts, not too shabby. He averaged 4.1 yards per carry and 10.8 yards per reception.

With the additions of offensive lineman D.J. Fluker and blocking specialist Rhett Ellison, Perkins is going to have some pretty nice sized holes to explode through.

Perkins’ tape shows off his insane agility and cutting abilities. He often leaves defenders in the dust, and takes off down field without hesitation.

Is this enough to send a player to the Pro Bowl? Of course not!

But here are five reasons he will go to the Pro Bowl in 2017.
