Heels, Sox & Steelers

PFW profiles RB Chris Perry
According to Pro Football Weekly, in one year Michigan RB Chris Perry has gone from "Good system player. Average speed. Good hands. Picks up the blitz well. Decent leader but perhaps a little self-absorbed. Not a gamebreaker. Tough. Big heart." to "Great production. Good speed. Great hands. Great blocker, especially on the blitz. Can turn the corner. Extremely tough." Couple that with a pretty solid Pro Day (his 40-time was in the 4.5's) and Kevin Jones's pretty lackluster Pro Day (three 40-times in the 4.6's) and some think Perry might now be the second running back taken after Oregon State's Steven Jackson. I'm still not convinced that he's better than Kevin or Greg Jones and there is also the concern that his heavy workload at Michigan might be a problem as his professional career progresses.

I'm still pushing for the Steelers to nab RB Greg Jones of Florida State in the second round.
