Hey SkinsFan - Fear the Turtle - Because the Turtle fears no one!!

With that said, I don't think Perry is really much of a steal - The whole "if he's healthy" is a pretty big "if" given his size and work habits. Also, even healthy, I don't think he's got it for the pros. He is not a particularly hard worker, seems to try and get by on talent. Also, I think he runs high and isn't very instinctive in his running. Don't know what the scouts say about him but he always seemed hesitant as he approached the line while looking for a whole. That's fine in college but won't cut it in the pros (see John Avery). To me, he was fairly talented college back with some good natural skills. I am just not sure that will translate to the pro level.

I hope he makes it but I think he will be a role player at best. Even if he does make it, he'll probably be out of the league in two or three years.
