The Seahawks are no strangers to a former Navy Midshipmen quarterback trying to make the transition to wide receiver in the NFL. Keenan Reynolds stuck around with Seattle for a bit, a managed to carve out a nice little base of backers in his time here and is currently a fan favorite of the Seattle Dragons.

But this time around, it is Malcolm Perry’s turn to give the transition a shot. The 5’9″, 184 lbs Perry is slight in stature but is tough as nails and possesses blazing speed and good lateral quickness. At Navy, Perry flourished as a triple-option quarterback but also spent chunks of time as an H-back and wide receiver. The best descriptor to place on Perry is the title of “playmaker”.

In his 4 seasons with Navy, Perry threw for 10 touchdowns, ran for 40 touchdowns (and 4,354 yards), and caught 3 TDs. As with most Navy cadets, character and work ethics are non-issues for Perry, who is attacking the transition from QB to WR with fervor, giving him a chance to make a Julian Edelman-like path to the NFL.

We have limited reps to watch of Perry as a WR, but we can see soft hands, great twitch, and good long speed. He may remind some Seahawks fans of Tyler Lockett when he runs, and could potentially help out on kick returns as well.

Obviously, Perry would have to learn how to do all the little things that WR’s are expected to do and shouldn’t be expected to contribute much in year 1. But if a team can stash him on a practice squad, or carry him similar to the way the Seahawks protected John Ursua in 2019, he has the potential to pay huge dividends.

Next. 4 Seahawks that could be roster cuts in 2020. dark

So there is our second Mock Draft Monday of the off-season. The scouting combine is right around the corner, so we will have access to more measurables to add to our tape evaluations, which can help us crystallize a plan of attack. It won’t be long until the Seahawks are announcing their first selection of the 2020 NFL Draft.
