Late For Work 5/1: Torrey Smith, Mel Kiper React To Newest Receiver Breshad Perriman

Torrey, Kiper React To Newest WR Perriman

There’s no better way to replace the loss of Torrey Smith than with a receiver that many are calling a “bigger and faster version” of Smith, with the potential to become a No. 1 receiver.

That’s partly why ESPN’s Jamison Hensley called drafting UCF star Breshad Perriman a “no-brainer” at No. 26 for the Ravens. The young man is an explosive playmaking receiver that can take the top off defenses – his 4.2 second 40-yard dash is one of the fastest ever – and averaged a whopping 20 yards per catch over the last two seasons.
