Summer is here, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.
Suntarine Perkins is a cruise missile off the edge for the Rebels. He uses his smaller size to get under blockers in terms of leverage, and he is able to hit holes like a running back and find ball carriers and the quarterback. Now, he is very undersized, and it shows in some situations with bigger tackles. He will need to add some pounds to his frame and stay as someone who barely lines up in the dirt. However, he has some amazing potential as an edge, on special teams, and could really be a fun chess piece for a defensive coordinator.
