La’Mical Perine could become the New York Jets’ next Bilal Powell

Error 0:

La’Mical Perine has the perfect set of tools to provide Bilal Powell-esque long-term impact for the New York Jets.

Joe Douglas‘ selection of Florida running back La’Mical Perine with the 120th overall pick in the fourth round has had some Jets fans a bit puzzled. Those doubts have not been regarding why the team would take a running back that highly, but rather, why they would take one who is widely considered to be a low-ceiling prospect. Perine does not seem to offer tantalizing traits such as top-end speed, elusiveness, and route-running ability that other backs on the board at No.
