Nothing holding back Nick Perry

Since the Packers drafted Perry in 2012, the 6-foot-3, 265-pound linebacker has everything you look for in a quality pass-rusher – power, speed and explosion.

The only thing missing has been, well, Perry.

Each year, Perry has flashed brilliance before injury impeded his progress. He missed 17 games during his first two seasons and played through injury in a majority of the past two.

As much discomfort as he experienced last season with a nagging shoulder injury and busted hand, Perry’s health improved late in the year and the difference was obvious once the playoffs began.
