Slightly undersized off-ball linebacker with solid 2025 production but less in-game impact than he showed in 2022 and 2023 before his ACL tear in 2024. Perkins is decisive against the run and knifes into the backfield when lanes open. He’s adequate in block take-ons and finishes tackles near the line with good physicality. He can still run but lacks his previous explosiveness in close-outs and pursuit. His instincts in space are average and he can get lost in coverage, but he has the athletic ability coverage requires. Perkins is at his best when deployed in a scheme that allows him to play free and attack the line as often as possible.
Off-ball linebacker with average size and one season as a full-time starter over five years. Weeks is an average athlete, but he has pretty good linear speed. He has adequate reaction time in his diagnosis. He’s a thumper when he catches runners cleanly but struggles to alter pursuit paths and change direction fluidly in space. Issues in coverage and with tackle consistency could linger, which might work against him as teams weigh his special teams value.
