The 2022 East West Shrine Bowl was played on Thursday evening and it gave potential NFL incomers the opportunity to put their talents on display for pro scouts. One player in particular, however, shined brighter than the rest. EJ Perry, the former Brown quarterback, lit up the stat sheet and, in spite of his team’s losing effort, came away with the game’s Offensive MVP honors.
Perry had a tremendous collegiate career with the Bears despite only playing two seasons (2019 and 2021) with the team. In those two years he threw for nearly 6,000 total yards and 45 touchdowns.
