Perkins is a speed and space guy that has a foundation of traits to build from.

He is elusive enough to make defenders miss in space, but mainly a vertical player with open field vision and awareness to see the cutback lanes, and also shows willingness as a blocker.     [player_tooltip player_id='2148129' first='Nate' last='Ringgenberg'] is having a productive go of it in the 7v7 setting this offseason.
