Samaje Perine 2018 Outlook
Last year the Redskins' backfield was ravaged by injuries with five players landing on injured reserve. Chris Thompson became a force and led Washington in rushing yards (294) and receiving yards (510) when he broke his leg in Week 11. Rob Kelley (3.1 yards per carry) was a disappointment before his knee injury in Week 8. Almost by default the load fell on Perine (603 yards, 3.4 yards per carry), a rookie who wasn't quite ready and had just one run over 20 yards in 175 attempts. Perine also fumbled twice. And with the arrival of rookie Derrius Guice, last season’s brief stint as the starter may end up being the extent of Perine's opportunity. As Bleacher Report noted, Perine struggled with the pacing and direction early on, but he improved over time. Down the stretch, he showed better contact balance that was typically associated with him in college, but it's not clear what kind of chances he'll get to build on with Guice and Thompson locked in ahead of him. Given the situation, Perine is nothing more than waiver-wire fodder should injuries open the door to an increased workload.
Samaje Perine 2017 Outlook
On the night the Redskins drafted Perine in the fourth round, HC Jay Gruden had this to say about the player who out bench-pressed every other player at his position (and most offensive linemen) at the NFL Scouting Combine: "He's a hard guy to get down, and if you do get him down, you're going to get up holding your shoulder or something because he's going to hit you," Gruden said. ... Indeed, as the Washington Times recently noted, Perine makes his strength and downhill running ability immediately obvious, but he can turn a corner remarkably well for a man of his size. If he can prove himself as an asset in the passing game, Perine could challenge Rob Kelley for the top running back job in the fall. Perine caught only 10 passes for 106 yards last season as a junior at Oklahoma, where Joe Mixon was used far more in the passing game. Even if Perine has all the ability and traits necessary for success, his mental game will likely slow him initially. Perine will need time to learn NFL defenses and how to pass protect. Still, the Times believes Perine could become a fixture for the Redskins' running game very quickly. We agree.
