Breshad Perriman, WR UCF

[DaCityKats]

 

Breshad is a height, weight, speed, specimen that is going to kill the combine. listed at 6'3 214 pounds, this guy is a huge deep threat target. Breshad has NFL bloodlines, being the son of Brett Perriman, former WR for the Lions and Saints. has a rocked up body, with huge arms, and upper body, plus the large hands to make him lethal catching the ball. does win in contested situations, and can climb the ladder when attacking the ball

 

explodes off the LOS, and eats cushions up with ease. has quick feet, to help when releasing off the LOS, and  will blow the top off a defense. forces coverage towards his way with deep speed. can also win running the short and intermediate routes, and shows decent YAC ability once catching the ball. has improved every season stat wise, while also becoming a better route runner. sinks his hips when running routes, and can maintain good speed put of his breaks. will gain separation with speed, and body.

 

one weakness to his game, is drops. Breshad would be a 1st rounder in my eyes, if he didn't drop so many balls. he will make beautiful catches all game, but drop the routine ball. some media draft guys, got him going in the 1st, but i just cannot see this. i currently think he has a 2nd - 3rd round grade, and could be in play for the panthers during those rounds. i have seen some compare him to Dez Bryant, and Kenny Britt, but i see a poor man Julio Jones when i watch him.(could be dreads, and same number 11)

 

since it is so many ECU fans, i will leave this here.

 

 

another good route, and play. comes from the Fiesta Bowl vs. Baylor

 

 

lined up in the slot, Baylor comes out in man coverage, with a safety guarding Perriman. he comes of the ball, and runs a quick out route.

 

the safety begins to drive on Perriman, closing up the separation to make a play. Perriman explodes out of his out cut, up the field on a double move( out and up), and blows by the safety in coverage. vertical speed is being exhibited on this route.

 

he finishes the play, by extending his arms, and attacking the football at its highest point, plucking the ball with his hands (hence why some say he is a natural hands catcher, and not a body catcher) looking the ball all the into his hands. also check out the separation he has on this route.

I was waiting until someone made a thread for him. I didnt know much about this guy but after watching some highlights and doing some research, he seems like a beast. Ive seen him already mocked in the top 15 so not sure we would have a chance at him.

 

Kiper has him going 1st round, and Gabriel said he thinks he go 1st round. all boxes check off, besides the hands for me. 2nd round is great value for him i think. i will break down some plays of his later. I'm a fan of Perriman tho. he has 2 games up on draft breakdown, but I watched Blake Bortles cutups to get a good look, of him progressing.

I just don't know if I'd want both of our top WRs to have the dropsies.  The kid clearly has some talent though.

I read another article that said his drops were mostly due to bad QB play but this article seems to say otherwise.

Love your write ups and the GIF you chose for this one DCK!

Benjamin and Perriman would be a crazy but very frustrating at times duo

I think he is going to go in the first round if he has a good combine. I could see him being around when the Panthers are on the clock.

I like what I see based on the highlights. First player that he reminds me is of Andre Johnson. Not flashy or the fastest but big and strong with the ball. He looks he has the tool to be an absolute monster

Watched and read more on him... Sign me up. After the combine he will be viewed as a first round guy if he performs as I expect he will. I'd have no problem with him being the pick at 25. Two massive receivers with dreads for Cam? NFC South better prepare for three straight Panther division titles.

It's nice knowing we have a great WR coach. If there is anyone that can clean up some hands issues and sloppy route running, it's Ricky.

[Verge]

He is for sure a late first round pick.

Sounds like Sammie Coates, except that Sammie Coates is gonna blow the top off of the combine with his measurables.

So did I miss something today?

 

 

 

Where the heck was Perriman? 

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Just saw he didn't receive clearance to workout because of a pulled hamstring. Bummer. Was really looking forward to watching him today.

 

 

He's going to blow up his pro day. Still think he is a realistic target at 25 as well. Have a feeling we will have our choice between Devin Smith, Strong, Agholor, and Perriman if we decide we are going WR.

UCF WR Breshad Perriman had 7 drops on 54 catchable passes

(12.96%). Ranked 81st of 91 qualifiers

Rotoworld: "That is terrible. The sample size might be smaller than others, as Perriman dropped seven of 54 catchable passes, but PFF has a tendency to side with the receiver on what exactly is "catchable." Perriman would have generated more buzz if he worked out at the Combine and still has a shot at being a late first-round selection, but very poor drop rates tend to carry over to the NFL"
