ROOKIE ON THE RUN Fifth-round draft choice Paul Perkins emerged late this season.

Perkins Poised For Playoff Success

Back in the preseason, Paul Perkins would cringe when the coaches turned on the video to begin a critique of his performance in pass protection.

“I was doing my best, but I knew I could do better,” the rookie running back for the Giants said. “When the game speeds up, it’s not just about being able to block a guy but blocking the right guy and that takes some time to learn, which guy is the right guy.

“There were some not-so-fun moments, definitely. But I’m getting there. I’m getting there.”

If Perkins’ pancake blocks of Browns linebacker Jamie Collins last month served as a promise of things to come, consider his stone-walling of Lions defensive end Ziggy Ansah in the Giants recent 176 victory over the Lions on a key fourth-quarter completion from Eli Manning to Odell Beckham Jr. as further evidence of his arrival.

The emergence of a rookie running back in Week 16 of the 2007 season sparked the Giants when Ahmad Bradshaw ran over the Bills and jump-started the ground game all the way to Super Bowl XLII.

Perkins’ potential this season has been a story line that Giants fans can’t get enough of, and now it seems as though the coaches are ready to put him in there more as the stakes get higher.
