Perkins is one of the most shifty players in the league, and to utilize agility you must complement it with vision.

Perkins is still developing his NFL style of play, but it’s clear he has the speed and moves to make NFL caliber tacklers miss in the open field.

His vision coming out of the backfield is encouraging, as he consistently makes defenders miss and can grind out extra yards.

With the fresh addition of tight end Rhett Ellison, Perkins will have a few more holes to choose from in 2017.
