Re: Saints Pick 6.18 - WR A.T. Perry
OverviewLong wideout with quick feet and erratic hands who falls neatly into the category of higher-ceiling, lower-floor prospect. Perry has been highly targeted and highly productive over the last two seasons. He’s crafty but physical in the early stages of the route and flashes the ability to become a more dangerous route runner with additional work. He has the tools to work all three levels of the field, but his drops and ordinary ball skills sap some of the excitement surrounding his massive wingspan. Perry’s inconsistencies can be frustrating, but his talent and traits make him worthy of a Day 2 selection as a potential WR2/3.
Strengths
- Tall wideout with elite arm length.
- Able to stutter and widen to beat press.
- Shows corners a variety of speeds early in the route.
- Resilience to play through grabby, physical coverage.
- Loose ankles allow for tight cornering and cuts.
- Carries good long speed on vertical routes.
- Protects the throw by driving back on the throw.
- Feet to evade a tackle and size to break one.
Weaknesses
- Shows inconsistent vertical push to threaten off-man coverage.
- Takes him time to execute change of direction.
- Lacks ideal coordination adjusting to the throw.
- Allows football to get on top of him, leading to drops (17 over past two seasons, per PFF).
- Below average feel for footwork on sideline grabs.
- Unlikely to spring many runs with tough blocking.
