He added that Perkins is also set to visit with the Los Angeles Chargers. One of the fastest linebackers in his draft class, Perkins played four seasons at LSU, recording 220 combined tackles, 35. 5 tackles for loss, 10 passes defended, five interceptions, and eight forced fumbles in 43 games.

Perkins, standing at 6 feet 1 inch and weighing 223 pounds, is projected to be drafted in the late second to early third round.
