The guy’s fast but in the pros that’s a good way to end a career early.
The average NFL players is about 15 pounds heavier than the average college player.
Gee actually that doesn’t sound like a lot.
And Russell Wilson has survived and actually thrived so I guess it can be done.
Can he pass well?
The Navy QB, can he pass well?
I haven’t seen Navy play this year but I hear they’re good. What I saw of the game this afternoon appeared to me that Navy was running a kind of spread/zone read offense that normally does have more passing. But not today for Navy, they won running the ball and with defense against Army’s option offense.
It would be cool to see a guy from a service academy make the NFL. I’d bet on the Navy deferring or delaying his service commitment, or putting him in the reserves.
AFAIK, Perry is just an “ok” passer. I’d imagine the run threat actually opens up his passing game, but it appears that in this game Army decided to try to take away the passing option entirely, thinking they could contain Perry on the ground, and they (Army) could not.
But, yeah, Perry looks a little like an RG-III type, and we know how that NFL run unfortunately went...
