Lamical Perine Could Be Le'Veon Bell's Top Backup
5 years agoSenior Bowl executive director and former NFL scout Jim Nagy expects rookie running back Lamical Perine "to be (Le'Veon Bell's) top backup next year." Nagy also wouldn't be surprised if Perine emerged as "the guy" for the Jets running game in two or three years despite his 4.6-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine back in February. Perine may not have top-end speed for a running back, but he has plenty of short-area burst and vision on the football field. The Jets signed veteran Frank Gore to split backfield touches with Bell in 2020, but Perine could work his way into the mix if either of the top two backs are injured. Only those in dynasty/keeper leagues should be drafting Perine in 2020, however.
