NICK PERRY RUMORS & GOSSIP
Packers' Perry eager to prove himself
GREEN BAY, Wis. It wasn't the rookie season that Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Nick Perry hoped for. Injuring his wrist in his NFL regular-season debut and being placed on injured reserve two months later never let the first-round pick display what made him such a valuable prospect.
While Perry certainly isn't happy about the first impression he left in 2012, that...

Green Bay’s first-round draft pick played in only six games before going on IR
The Green Bay Packers began the season with 10 rookies on the 53-man roster. That’s a pretty high number – especially for a team than won 15 games the previous year.

Nick Perry blessed, injury not as bad as originally thought
The Packers’ win over the Texans on Sunday night could be potentially season-altering. I thought it would be the monumental, signature victory that rights the ship for an inconsistent team that has yet to win or lose back-to-back games, but they did lose several key players which was not good news.Green Bay’s 42-14 win at Houston came at a steep price. Coach Mike McCarthy, who...

Questioning the “Effort” and “Motor” of the Packers’ Nick Perry
It's too early to question Nick Perry's effort.
There are several words used by analysts to describe college players entering the NFL draft that drive me crazy.
Examples include:
Athletic. What does it mean to be athletic? Shouldn’t all athletes getting paid to play sports be considered athletic?
High upside. How many teams draft players because they have little or no...
Packers counting on Perry for pass rush
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Don't call Nick Perry the savior of the Green Bay Packers' defense. Dismissing that notion during rookie minicamp, the first-round pick out of USC does not want to approach his upcoming first NFL season with such high expectations.
