re: How would Harold Perkins do at safety?

As a hypothetical… Obviously he’s a bit too far along in his LB development to switch, but he seems to have the exact same size, speed, and skillset as jamal adams (blitz boy). He’s a tweener for LB but would’ve made an awesome safety circa 2016 LSU.

Considering how much he has to play as a Nickel and how outdated the SAM position is in modern football…he is basically a Safety already except in name.

I’ve said this before and will keep saying it. The problem isn’t Perkins’ current role. He’s solid in coverage as an LB and that makes him extremely versatile. The issue is that House wasn’t create enough to use him to do what he does best in that role. A better DC with an attacking scheme will have him wreaking havoc from multiple spots on the field.
