Patriots quarterback Malcolm Perry has retired from the NFL and will return to the Navy to continue his service, Doug Kyed reports.
Perry played football for the Navy between 2016 and ’19, primarily playing running back and wide receiver before playing quarterback consistently as a senior. He had three 1,000 rushing yard seasons, and surpassed 2,000 rushing yards in 2019. His 4,359 career rushing yards are second-most in the history of Navy football, only behind Keenan Reynolds.
The Dolphins drafted Perry in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and he tried to catch on as a quarterback, running back and wide receiver.
