The New York Jets made it official with fourth-round draft pick La’Mical Perine, inking the running back to a four-year, $4 million deal. The Jets announced the contract signing on Thursday, with Perine joining Denzel Mims, Cameron Clark, and Bryce Hall as the four 2020 draftees signed — first-rounder Mekhi Becton remains unsigned.
Perine was selected with the No. 120 overall selection in April after four solid years with the Florida Gators. His senior season was a bit of a down year, as he only rushed for 677 yards after an 826-yard junior campaign, Perine’s first as a full-time starter.
