Jets quarterback Sam Darnold said Wednesday that Perriman is "super explosive" and "everything you want in a receiver", Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Per Cimini, coach Adam Gase also made favorable comments after Wednesday's practice, noting that Darnold and Perriman have been quick to develop chemistry. Perriman has been anything but consistent through five NFL seasons, but he finished the 2019 campaign on a high note as a member of the Buccaneers, and he now finds himself on a team with few other receiving options. So far, it's been Perriman, slot man Jamison Crowder and tight end Chris Herndon serving as Darnold's top targets in practices, while Vyncint Smith (core muscle) just had surgery and Denzel Mims remains absent with a hamstring injury. The only bad news for Perriman is a tricky September schedule with a pair of tough matchups in Week 1 (at Buffalo) and Week 2 (home versus the 49ers).
