disruptive edge rusher with NFL-caliber burst and production
Perkins is a high-motor edge defender whose best calling card is his ability to create negative plays—at Oklahoma, he produced 16.5 career sacks and 32 tackles for loss in just 33 games, including a 5.5-sack, 10.5-TFL season in 2020.[15][16] Scouts liked his burst and functional strength, with a 4.71 forty, 25 bench reps, and strong short-area quickness backing up the tape.[5][13][18] The main caution is availability: his college career included a suspension-related absence in 2020, so fit matters if you want a ready-made pass-rush impact player with some risk attached.[15][18]
