Coming off a nonexistent rookie season, the New England Patriots' Ronnie Perkins is trying to finally earn a regular spot in the front-seven rotation. Regrettably, he spent most of the year on the gameday inactive list before being placed on IR at the end of the season.
Nevertheless, the 2021 third-round pick provides something the Patriots need in speed and athleticism. He’ll benefit from the behind-the-scenes work he got ‘redshirting’ in 2021, and will be a candidate to fill the secondary pass rusher role the Patriots should be looking to improve on heading into 2022.
