Denzel Perryman
This kid is a beast at his position. There are many NFL draft experts who believe he is the best linebacker in the draft. Even though that might hold true, I don’t think he has the longest career.
More on that later..
For now, relish for now what will eventually become a week to week story next year in the NFL. That is, how Denzel Perryman tackles the ball carrier. He made a lot of highlight films during his tenure at Miami. None as memorable than this tackle in a game against Wake Forest back in 2013.
There is no question Perryman could affect a positive change in the way the Bears play on the defensive side of the ball. He could start a game in the NFL this weekend.
At pick number seven should the Bears draft him?
There are a lot of linebackers in this years draft and this is the only one who looks like a first round pick. With that said.. Should Perryman not make it to number seven, don’t panic – There’s still plenty of guys left on the board. Guys like..
