He's really grown on me as a possible replacement for Hill. If we don't grab Cook or LF, I would be very happy with Samaje. He has good hands. He broke Billy Simms rushing record at Oklahoma! That's an accomplishment. His highlight reel is sweet!

Helps to have a record-breaking 427 rush yards against Kansas in 2014. His production has gone down since 2014, but that's because Joe Mixon came in 2015 to share touches.
I think it actually benefits the Bengals that Perine has played in a timeshare and has succeeded in it. He has also shown he can carry the load well when it's just him, as evidenced by his 2014 success.

I'd be satisfied if he's drafted in the middle rounds. However, it would be a clear sign that Jeremy Hill will not be extended (not that that's a bad thing).
