STACKED’s take
Perine evolved from fourth-round pick to journeyman with two Super Bowl appearances.
Perine was drafted by Washington in the fourth round of the 2017 draft. He was waived prior to the 2019 regular season and claimed by the Bengals. After waiver claims by the Dolphins and Bengals, he became a rotational back in Cincinnati for 2020. He signed a two-year extension with the Bengals in 2021. His 41-yard TD reception in the AFC championship game sparked a comeback before half-time to help the team advance to Super Bowl LVI, where he had two carries for no gain in the 23-20 loss to the Rams. In 2024, Perine played in his second Super Bowl with the Chiefs as an established journeyman running back with rotational value in the passing game and short-yardage situations.
