The NY Jets set out to prepare for the future at the running back position this offseason and they seemingly did so with the selection of Florida running back La’Mical Perine.
The Jets drafted Perine in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft with an eye on both the present and the future. They’ll expect the former Gators standout to be an immediate contributor on offense, but the pick was much more than that.
Perine could very well be the future of the Jets backfield. At the very least, he’s someone they’d love to become a fixture in their offense for years to come.
