Is this the year Breshad Perriman puts it all together for the Ravens? Maybe. The team is saying good things about him at the padless practices, and Perriman himself says he's feeling great. He flashed some potential a year ago, too.
In the Experts Draft for the magazine, Alan Satterlee made Perriman an eighth-round pick, which struck some as early. In Satterlee's eyes, though, making sure to get Perriman was critical -- he thinks he's going to have a big season.
Certainly there's breakout potential. Perriman is a talented, big-play guy. Last year in limited action he caught only 33 passes, but 8 of them -- nearly a quarter -- went for over 20 yards. That was one of the highest ratios in the league.
