Taken with 120th overall pick in the fourth round of Joe Douglas‘s inaugural draft as the New York Jets‘ general manager, La’Mical Perine had a rocky rookie season. Perine spent much of the year buried behind an ancient Frank Gore on the depth chart, but when he did get opportunities, he was unproductive.
Perine rushed for 232 yards on 64 carries, an average of 3.6 yards per carry that tied him with Cordarrelle Patterson for 76th out of 96 qualified running backs (21st percentile). He also struggled to make anything happen as a receiver, catching 11-of-15 targets for 63 yards and ranking 81st out of 96 running backs (16th percentile) with an average of 4.
