He lead Miami in tackles last year with 114, and was also a All-ACC selection. At 5’11, 236 pounder so there are concerns with size. Experts also have questions about his pass coverage and speed but he was able to do more than enough in college and his game translates to the NFL level.
Perryman was excited to be drafted by the Chargers. He went to Twitter to express his excitement.
