La'Mical Perine says he's ready when opportunities come with Jets

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – La’Mical Perine hasn’t been able to carve out a role for himself in the Jets’ crowded backfield, but it hasn’t shaken his confidence.

Perine didn’t express any frustration over playing just 24 offensive snaps all season. The second-year running back, who showed flashes as a rookie, said he can’t dwell on it. He has to keep working to make sure he’s ready when his opportunity comes.

"I can do anything," Perine said. "I’m balanced. I can catch the ball. I can run the ball hard. I’m a three-down back. In this system I’m used more as a power back.
