Florida football: Jets get balance in Lamical Perine

We all knew that Florida football running back Lamical Perine would get drafted, right?

After Day 1 and Day 2, however, there was a little doubt.

But, with the 120th overall pick in the fourth round, the New York Jets realized what Florida football fans have known all along: Perine is a beast.

After all, he did rush for 138 yards and three touchdowns in Florida football’s 36-38 win over Virginia in the Capital One Orange Bowl. That was good enough for Perine to be named MVP of the game.
