During the Dolphins’ scrimmage at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, it was Perry’s 55-yard catch from quarterback Josh Rosen that was the highlight play of the day.
As Rosen’s first two options on the play were caught in traffic in the middle of the field, Perry just took off down the sideline past his defender and caught the football in stride.

“Malcolm Perry is a good football player. Coming from Navy, he played quarterback. He’s a jack of all trades,” safety Bobby McCain said complementing the rookie.
“He can play a lot of positions for us, as far as quarterback, slot receiver, outside, you can put him anywhere. He’s just a football player. He makes plays. He’s a tough kid. He’s working on making tough catches. As you saw [Saturday], he had a big catch.”

It seems like nearly every practice I hear this kid made a big play or a long touchdown. I know it's training camp but it would be amazing if we could solidify our slot role with a multi tooled player we got in the 7th.

I know he's small and ran a poor 40 time. But the guy is just shifty as hell and seems to have football speed. I can't find video of any play where he ever was chased down once he got going. Perry led Navy to an 11-2 record, which was good enough to have them finish ranked in the top 25 (#20 overall). That is just the second time Navy accomplished that in 56 years.

Perry said that Belichick and the Patriots were clearly the team that spent the most time with him. Always a good sign. On a side note, it also makes it kind of funny that we signed UDFA Tyshun Render. The player that Belichick skipped the combine to scout. Either Bill is playing some serious 4D chess, or Flores is snagging some of his pet projects.

We already got Preston Williams as a UDFA last year, and then resigned Parker at 10 million a year just before he really broke out. Just a great value WR core going forward if Perry can lock down that slot WR position.

I want to keep my hype in check. We simply have not heard good things about our overall WR depth. But I'm just liking what I hear from Perry. He's a guy that could not only fill role we have a desperate need, but do it while also bringing a unique and versatile skillset that can keep defenses on their feet.

Just looking forward to seeing some of this in the regular season...?

I'm definitely rooting for him. He might become a Crash Jensen type of player, which all teams can benefit from having. He has more play-speed than timed-speed.

Even in the clip you showed Perry had the burst to blow by his coverage and instantly create separation. Almost immediately from the start of this clip you included (maybe 1 step to 5 yards, somewhere in there) he slows way down to accommodate the very under thrown ball. The DB doesn't know when the ball is arriving and never looks back, so Perry calmly looks it into his hands without indicating too early when the ball is about to arrive. Had he jumped, the DB would have jumped, turned and raised hands to block earlier and possibly broken up the pass. But since Perry never showed his hands he simply throttled down, kept the trajectory of the ball past the DB and looked it into his hands effortlessly without extending and accelerating until the last minute. To most, it simply looked like speed and a well thrown ball, but when you analyze it, Perry did literally all the work on that one with his burst, eye for the fly ball, throttling down, keeping his body between the man and the ball's landing point, good hands, and then re-engaging his turbo drive speed to pull away for the TD. Really amazing play by Perry ... but didn't look so good for the DB.

Yes fully agree about the Crash Jensen comparison, I have previously mentioned how he might stick as a 5/6 WR or 3/4 RB plus his ability to QB and return. Also think he may play into Flo plans regards trick plays. Thought the lack of a proper pre-season may hamper his chances but he seems to make a positive impression each day and has a chance to make an impact at slot rec.
Do love to see an underdog succeed and if he did could be the icing to this years draft.

As I said in the other thread: He's Jim Jensen with talent.

(and athleticism)
 
An excerpt from his combine performance:

3 Cone Drill and 20-yard Shuttle
Lastly, Perry shined exactly where we thought he would. Dodging defenders and breaking ankles were an every week occurrence while he was playing for Navy. Perry’s quickness, agility, and ability to change of direction led to numerous 30+ yard runs as a Midshipmen. He ran his 3 cone drill in 7.12 seconds and 20-yard shuttle in 4.31 seconds. Both times put him close to the top of the wide receiver group.

During the actually wide receiver drills, Perry’s improved catching and route running were on display. Here, he re-affirmed many scouts’ confidence that he wouldn’t have any issues in the basics of being a receiver, despite only recently transitioning to the position.
 
You do not make it through Annapolis without some type of work ethic and drive to get there to begin with.

If he makes the game day roster, a 20/200 season should be attainable. The lofty comparisons and expectations should be left for at least mid season if he is doing something historic or at least PB worthy. Even alternate 359 PB worthy.

And little admiral is cute. Unlike David Robinson who did his time and maintained his commission. Perry gave up his commission after failing to get his preferred assignment in the Marines. He is now a Corporal.
 
Remember Marcus Vick?

Napoleon Bonaparte's nickname was actually "Le Petit Caporal" (The Little Corporal). So that makes sense too, considering Perry's plans to conquer the entire AFC East.
 
Hate those practice video angles. I wanna see this kid in TV format.

I'm a big fan of the young man. I just have tempered expectations for him.
