It’s always worth taking a closer look at buzz-worthy players before the numbers from the NFL combine start to distort draft grades. In this case, Perriman deserves the buzz because he is a legit prospect with good size and college production. Breshad is also the son of Brett Perriman, who played for 10 years in the NFL and had 108 catches for 1,488 yards in 1995 for the Detroit Lions.Size, production and pedigree are all qualities NFL teams love. If Perriman performs well at the combine, his stock will only continue to soar. He could solidify himself as a first-round prospect with an athletic display that confirms what teams see on tape.Although it can be dangerous to rely on college production to “scout” players, there is value in looking at Perriman’s production compared to NFL prospects from the past. Perriman isn’t a non-prospect with inflated college numbers where they are mostly irrelevant; he is a legit prospect with NFL size at 6’3” and about 215 pounds.Last season, Perriman caught 50 passes for 1,044 yards and nine touchdowns. His average of 20.9 yards per catch was among the best in college football. Only three other players have been better in all four categories as a junior or underclassmen since 2000: Andre Johnson, Charles Rogers and Jalen Saunders.So.. this guy would be an absolute steal in the 2nd round for the Bucs.
