According to Brian Napier of FloFootball, Perry participated in UConn’s Pro Day on March 25, "where he put up numbers that would’ve been solid at the NFL Scouting Combine; a 29.5-inch vertical jump, 4.53 shuttle drill and 31 reps on the bench press were among his most notable marks, along with a 9-3 broad jump that would’ve put him tied for sixth among all offensive linemen at the combine."^[8]
