2017 NFL Draft: Top 10 running back prospects

9. Samaje Perine, Oklahoma (5-11, 237) — Film Grade: 77.0

Quick Take: Perine is a smooth runner with good footwork and knack for finding creases in the defense. He runs hard and can drive his legs and use his size to push piles. However, he’s not an overly physical back, and he typically goes down with first contact. Perine actually has very good hands though and is a decent route runner for a halfback of his size. He also does a nice job in blitz pickup, making him a decent option on third downs.
