Scouting Report: Strengths
- Good closing speed with long arms to drag down quarterbacks and running backs.
- The talent is there as a sideline-to-sideline playmaker.
- Perkins shows good speed and closing burst when blitzing.
- He’s ultra-aggressive and plays with a non-stop motor, and Perkins has the instincts and closing speed to find the ball and meet the ball carrier quickly.
- Perkins has excellent awareness in zone coverage.
- He’s at his best in coverage. He’s a fluid mover capable of turning and running with tight ends or mirroring backs coming out of the backfield.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s more of a grab-and-drag tackler who could stand to be more violent as a hitter.
- While Perkins has the take-on skills to be a 4-3 Mike, he’s probably better as a Will so he can maximize his range and speed.
- Lacks pop and strength to anchor, though. Most effective when uncovered inside and chasing stretch plays to the sideline.
