I sure hope so! It’s funny, I joined this board when I was in undergrad, now I’ve got three kids, a mortgage, and a career… time flies! Hate to see we’ve lost some great posters from this place (FF, Hagan, JP… RIP). But will definitely be checking in more often. Good to see you’re still around AG.

I'm definitely here to stay. We lost several members when the player protests were going on.

Anyways, just wanted to drop in and say that AT Perry is a baller and really hope he makes it big with our Saints. I’m a Wake Forest die hard and have watched every single one of AT’s games. He was a late bloomer, really came on in camp in 2020 but was further down the depth chart that year. He busted out in 2021 and became one of, if not the most, productive receiver in school history. He’s got good speed, long arms, big hands, and he can pretty much do it all on the field. The drops were never a huge issue at Wake, although he did have them from time to time. The thing, IMHO, that separates him from a lot of other players is his body control. He’s a long, lean guy that can contort his body in ways you wouldn’t expect for a man his size to get in position to catch the ball. The best example I can remember is his walk-off OT touchdown grab at Syracuse two years ago: https://youtu.be/GGuxHSW_Ih8

Anyways, I know he’s got a long ways to go, but this guy has so much raw talent and is still developing. Hopefully our staff can bring out the best in him because he was one of the most fun college players to watch for me in a long time.
This gives me tempered enthusiasm.

Not to nitpick but Chase was the 5th overall pick in the 1st round with a proven track record & hardware in the most competitive college conference.

The rope is much shorter when you are selected in the 6th round.

Perry needs to show up and show out at training camp.
