Since the time Nick Perry was drafted 28th overall out of USC by the Green Bay Packers, there have always been lofty expectations for him to live up to. The Packers hoped that he’d follow in the footsteps of fellow Trojan linebacker Clay Matthews and have a hall of fame like start to his career.
Unfortunately for Perry, injuries took their toll on his development throughout the early stages of his career and as a result, it took him until his fifth NFL season to finally come into his own. A productive 2017 season was slowed down again due to injuries which carried over into the Packers offseason training program this season.
