Has 1 punt return for 12 yds

Seems to have some kick returning experience

"When a prospect starts off with traits like tough, smart and highly competitive, they're off to a very good start with important intangibles," writes NFL.com's Lance Zierlein. "[Perry was] elected by teammates to the highly-regarded team captain [role]. Has some slot receiver experience, hands catcher, low center of gravity enhances change of direction, stick-and-go wiggle to make first tackler miss and 20 career kick returns averaging 24.6 per return.""

"I'm extremely comfortable [playing special teams]," Perry said. "I knew coming into the draft that that would be a big role for me, and it's something I've been practicing. I'm lucky enough to have some experience in college with special teams.

Inquiring minds want to know!

Who needs Hoyer? Now we've got 2 emergency backup QBs (/s). I like that he's a Navy guy who's looking to become a Marine Corps officer. Seems like the real deal. As far as football skills, hopefully he lasts more than a few weeks on the team.

Perry is not a QB, emergency or otherwise. Anybody who watched Navy knows that passing was a last resort. His job was to run and to pitch. He has elusiveness and worked as a returner in camp for the Dolphins but never won that job.

One of BB's favorite player types:

My guess is Shaun Wade caught the Foxboro Flu but passes it on to Perry after week one and suddenly recovers when he has to come off IR. By that time, he'll be caught up in our playbook. Perry gets cut after week one and gets snuck onto the PS.

We found our backup QB. Honestly, I never was a big fan. Successful as a running QB vs weak competition. Ran a slow 4.63 forty. For someone so “explosive”, he’s kinda slow. Who knows, maybe he’s the new Edelman, quick instead of fast.

Respectable but not dazzling.

BBs whimsy tryout of his Navy man extravagantly using 53 spot while Bolden on IR?

Edelman ran a 4.52 and a 6.62 three cone, holy schnickes. Scratch that comparison.

Worth bearing in mind there's more to elusiveness than athleticism. We'll see how it goes though. I'm sure Bill's excited. Now he's got two Navy guys on his 53.

Let’s also not forget who we play game 1, Perry’s former team. Probably still has the playbook on his iPad

Will be cut after game 1.

Guessing and as it was, I'm wrong. Hoyer to PS which means he doesn't count against the roster and will be a gameday activation, so Perry takes Harry's place.
