No. 2 – South Team RB Lamical Perine

The Redskins last “Perine” didn’t work out so well, but correlation does not always equal causation. The Redskins could stand to at least add someone to their running back room this offseason, given the uncertainty there, and in the Senior Bowl, Florida and South Team running back Lamical Perine presented his case.

Perine displayed the propensity for making plays both on the ground and as a receiver. He logged seven carries for 42 yards, averaging six per carry, while also catching two passes, including the first touchdown of the game, which he had to run in from almost twenty yards out. On the scoring catch-and-run, Perine showed good burst, vision, contact balance, and effort, as he stayed on his feet through contact to reach pay dirt.

Perine has a solid profile as a complete running back, standing at 5-foot-11, 211, with good speed and acceleration, as well as a forward-leaning running style that accentuates his thirst for extra yards. He doesn’t have any elite athletic traits, but he’s more than serviceable just about everywhere, and he has receiving utility. f he’s available on Day 3, the Redskins could score some value in adding him to their weapons core.
