Miami (Fl) linebacker Denzel Perryman is one of those players that you have to watch on tape to get a really good feel for who he is. On paper, he looks like an undersized player who will get swallowed up by defenses. However, the game footage shows something completely different when it comes to Perryman.
If you overlook his height, you see a player with most of the tools needed to succeed at linebacker in the NFL. He’s got that tough frame, solid instincts and ability to close fast on ball carriers. Often times, Denzel Perryman will seek out contact in order to win battles with bigger blockers and can use that lower center of gravity to win those battles.
