Perkins

Perkins (5-foot-7 1/8, 195) was a 23-game starter for the Bulldogs, finishing his career with 530 carries for 2,546 yards (4.80 YPC) and 15 touchdowns. He added 68 receptions and has kickoff return experience. Perkins offers 4.46 jets and some explosion in his legs (10-foot-2 broad jump), but lacks size to carry the load and is more straight-linish than elusive. He’s like LaMichael James without the fanfare. He’ll have to show well as a pass blocker to become a useful third-down back and will struggle to find snaps in a crowded Green Bay backfield.

An undrafted free agent out of Mississippi State, Perkins rushed 31 times for 93 yards (3.0 YPC) this preseason, adding two catches for 21 yards and a score as a receiver. He’s a candidate for the practice squad.
