02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Giants' offensive scheme is a West Coast short passing game with an emphasis on three-down backs and option routes.

Third-down backScat backSlot receiver
Best role

Perkins can compete for third-down duties immediately, with the ceiling of a lead back in a committee.

Wrong fit

A run-heavy, between-the-tackles power scheme would minimize Perkins' strengths and expose his lack of power.

Perkins fits well into a zone running scheme, showcasing his vision and agility while also providing value in the passing game.
