UCLA Football: Paul Perkins To Declare for the NFL Draft

It is sad to see but the workhorse of the UCLA Football offense is moving on. Junior RB Paul Perkins has made it official that he will be skipping his senior season with the Bruins to pursue his dream of playing in the NFL.

Today, Perkins tweeted out his love for UCLA Football as well as his plan to move forward in his life and declare for the 2016 NFL Draft.

Perkins, the Pac-12’s leading rusher from a year ago with 1,572 total rushing yards, has had one exciting career with the Bruins. Though he was just short of his rushing yardage from 2015, Perkins was still able to eclipse the 1,000 yard mark with 1, 343 yards.
