I’ve seen people here say LB isn’t his natural position. What is? Safety?

Unfortunately he doesn't really have one for the next level IMO. I think his size and athleticism make him a strong safety, but he doesn't have that skillset really. Maybe a pure box safety like a Jamal Adams?

ETA:

I mean NFL Jamal, not LSU Jamal.

Playmaker.

He needs RB snaps, KO Return opportunities, wildcat Perk, and also outside backer

Perkins is pretty similar to Jeremy Chinn

Chinn is pretty damn tall/lengthy. I think Perkins is probably 6' flat and Chinn is like 6'3".

Devin Bush is who I think of. Great college playmaker, but a tweener in the pros. We should watch Michigan tape to see how they used him.

Edge rusher. Think Von Miller.

Edge if he can put on 15 more pounds and I think he has the frame to do so

That’s like people saying Jamarr Chase could’ve played DB

Perkins is a freakishly athletic LB

Depends what he wants to weigh and how much work he wants to put into covering, but either SS or OLB.

We should be treating him similarly to how Michigan treated Jabrill Peppers. Let him return some kicks, not that that ever happens. Let him run a jet sweep from time to time. If they lined him up on offense the defense would panic just from the unknown of him being out there. ANd if you gave him the ball and he had a nice gain, then the next time hes lined up on offense the defense would likely overeact to him.
