My bad! Did not originally see him reach and grab the ball while on the turf.

247 got it right giving him credit for both

He definitely looked like Winfield on the int. He was out of the play then made the play! He looks like a 5* to me!

Agree, my first thought seeing that interception was that it reminded of Winfield!

I don't want to get ahead of ourselves but with the athleticism he displayed and supposedly a great deal of versatility in his game, it does give fans something to be excited about. Jabril Peppers is a comparison that comes to mind!

Or a faster more athletic Harrison Smith.

Or a faster more athletic Harrison Smith.

Smith's NFL combine 40 time (4.57) compares pretty similarly to Perich's current speed. But Perich has time to get faster. Harrison Smith is/was pretty athletic. Don't let his last couple years fool you.

Perich looks like a player. Maybe even a starter in his first season here.

 

[Willwin40]

I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t start right away.

You know the famous GIF of WWE legend The Undertaker sitting upright from a flat-on-his-back position? Picture that and you pretty much get the idea for Koi Perich’s week. A tough couple of early-week practices turned into periodic flashes in following sessions as he got better as the week progressed. Perich punctuated his week-long comeback tour with an electric performance in Saturday’s game as he won MVP honors thanks to a diving interception at the goal line to steal a potential deep-ball TD, followed by a punt block he also recovered to set up a short-yardage TD for the West offense. That special teams value could get Perich on the field early and often in college. 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins has been very high on Perich for months, so the Minnesota-bound safety’s progression throughout the week lived up to expectations.

For those that didn't get to see the game. I came across this highlight video of Koi Perich. I'm excited about this kid.
