Good question. Carpenter came to mind, but Perry is a much more gifted athlete. Watching him hurdle and long jump in high school was a sight to see.

The frightening thing is that he isn't maxed out physically. He is still lean with room to grow.

I keep thinking about this as well. Very gifted athletically and seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Perfect combo. If he has a break out year it could be just the spark this defense needs.

Lots of positive chatter on Perry and I am not surprised...I expect to see Shazier and Perry as our primary LBs, with Powell in the nickel. Amazed at what our S&C program has done for him but he even looks like an absolute monster in pads...

Him and Powell are the 2 names out there that did not have huge impacts last year that if they step up big for this defense, I don't see any drop off from last year's positive 2nd half and it could surpass what last year's defense did as a unit.
