Former UCF wide receiver Breshad Perriman could potentially hear his name called in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
Last year, former UCF QB Blake Bortles was selected No. 3 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2014 NFL Draft, but some NFL analysts could also see Breshad Perriman being selected in the first round of the draft.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper’s insider draft board currently has Breshad Perriman going No. 15 overall to the San Francisco 49ers.
NFL.com senior analyst and former VP of player personnel for the Dallas Cowboys, Gil Brandt, praised Perriman on Twitter, noting that he comes from the pedigree of his father, Brett Perriman, who played 10 NFL seasons.
“UCF WR Breshad Perriman is ascending. Father Brett played in NFL for 10 years, 2nd-round pick. No surprise if Breshad went in 1st,” Brandt said on Twitter.
Perriman has a chance to increase his draft stock further this upcoming Wednesday, Feb. 18, at the NFL combine in Indianapolis, IN. Perriman will join former UCF players Rannell Hall, Jacoby Glenn and Clayton Geathers at the combine.
