Brendon Ayanbadejo on American Ninja Warrior
The former Ravens special teams ace and linebacker has turned his training into a different athletic activity.

The Top 5 Potential 2015 NFL Draft Busts

Although I don’t think that Perriman will bust, I think it’s a fair assessment. As is usually the case when analysts raise concerns regarding Perriman, the drop rate is the mean reason for Joe’s doubts. LINK
