5’11” 240lb... big boy. Looked at some of his highlights, he definitely uses his size to his advantage.

Looked to me like Gaskin probably broke the ankle.

That or a really nasty high ankle sprain.

Doubt the org gives up the info.

ever notice Rap makes those kind of leaps on signings?

As I always say, highlight reels only show so much. But here’s a glimpse at some of his good plays.

If you go back to college -- dude has some "baby Csonka" bull

but surprising top end speed! Very interesting signing!

If he can get more than 2 yards a carry he'll be an improvement over the guys we used this year.

Worth looking at. Highlights from his rookie year are fun. Seems to have good hands for catching screens. Anyone know why he got cut from Redskins and then on Bengals PS?

Yes indeed, he will need that toughness running behind our picket fence of a line.

Players get signed off practice squads all the time with the thought that they might be a part of a team's future.

I liked Perine coming out of OU. Had one decent NFL season that looked promising, but has been mostly blah in the NFL. He has great size, but needs deccent blocking to get going. He's not the type of back that you can expect to consistently make something of nothing. At least he hasn't shown that ability at the NFL level yet.

Neither Gaskins or Laird really look like locks. We've enjoyed watching them as backups and special teamers, but that is probably their ceiling.

A guy like Perine could give them a run for their money if he 1. Can catch out of the backfield and 2. Pick up a blitzing linebacker.

I'd say that he has a shot... moreso than Ballage.
