Oklahoma NFL Draft profile: RB Samaje Perine could become solid short-yardage option

Samaje Perine, RB

Projected round: 3-4

Perine demonstrated ability as a north-south runner in college, but likely doesn't possess the agility to be an every-down back in today's NFL. That's not to say he won't find success as a professional, however. Perine has the potential to be a great short-yardage and goal line option (which means plenty of touchdowns, fantasy football owners).
