32. LB SUNTARINE PERKINS (Ole Miss)
Gorney’s Take: If you go to a lab and draw up what an outside linebacker is supposed to look and play like, it would be Suntarine Perkins. The Ole Miss signee, who was pushed hard by Alabama until the end, is all of 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds. He has length and covers ground so incredibly well. Not only was Perkins an excellent linebacker at Raleigh, Miss., but he was also a phenomenal running back, maybe one of the best in the country.
