Breshad Perriman: From top pick to Ravens' public enemy No. 1

 

 

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Breshad Perriman's fresh start to the season lasted only a few minutes into the first day of training camp.

Running a simple 10-yard comeback route with no defender on him, Perriman watched a pass carom off both of his hands, resulting in a collective groan from the fans. Then Perriman pulled in the next throw, which led to mock cheers.

Someone yelled, "Oh my God, he caught it."

The fall for Perriman has been dramatic, painful and merciless. In 2015, he was the 26th player selected in the draft and some draft experts labeled him the next Dez Bryant. Three years later, Perriman's three significant injuries and an alarming number of dropped passes have put him on the roster bubble and in the bulls-eye for fans.

He gets ripped on social media. He gets criticized by the media. Even if he avoids Twitter and sports websites, he hears it from the 2,000 fans who sit a short toss away from him on the practice field every day this summer.

This is the pressure that mounts for a player who could be remembered as the Baltimore Ravens' biggest first-round bust. Perriman has managed just 43 catches for 576 yards in 27 games, and he was the NFL's worst-graded wide receiver last season by Pro Football Focus.

Struggling To Catch On

Breshad Perriman is one of five wide receivers drafted in the first round since 2001 who has played in at least 25 games and has totaled less than 45 receptions:

PLAYER DRAFTED REC. YDS. AVG. TDS
Charles Johnson Steelers 17 150 8.8 1
A.J. Jenkins 49ers 17 223 13.1 0
Laquon Treadwell Vikings 21 215 10.2 0
Breshad Perriman Ravens 43 576 13.4 3
Jon Baldwin Chiefs 44 607 13.8 2

Bring them in for a few days of practice. Cut them loose by Friday if they show nothing. They make a few bucks for a few days, either stick, or it's see ya. 

 

Probably won't make a difference, unless they can quickly pickup the playbook. Who knows how many WRs are running the wrong routes. LOL

I presume its Kelley's injury.  And Chesson was released.

 

Wow. That's sending a message. Chesson allowed one incomplete yesterday because he failed to come back to the ball. He was well beyond the sticks, and should have created the distance between he and the CB behind him. Out you go!

Between that and being one of the team poking around for trading for Gordon -- they seem to be in code red mode on WR.

Watching D. Jax interviewed and hyped right now on NFL Network.  I am jealous.  And I was among the people in 2017 who wanted to resign him. 

 

Same. Can't believe so many people on here claimed he was just a one trick pony and one-dimensional. His production could easily be replaced. Yeah right.

 

The dude has arguably been the best deep threat in football since Randy Moss retired. His ability to track deep passes and adjust was second-to-none. That's a skill not many fast guys have. Not to mention he runs excellent sharp routes that break CB's ankles.

 

Big mistake letting him go.
