Player Overview

Graduate of Haddam-Killingworth HS (CT), Thomas Perry was an overlooked college prospect due to a smaller stature and his senior season that was wiped out due to COVID. He made the most of his opportunity with Middlebury College where he dominated the last three seasons, garnering honors, and catching the eyes of scouts. Perry made a bigger name for himself showing out in the East-West Shrine Bowl practices against players from Division I power conferences.

Thomas “Tank Engine” Perry is a well built interior offensive lineman that is ready for the NFL. He has a strong build, nimble feet, and fluid hips. He loves to get in close, manhandle, and finish defenders with every rep. Thomas has heavy hands and punches at the point of attack. He also possesses good anchor and knee bend in pass protection.

However, Thomas Perry has physical and technical limitations that he may have gotten away with at his playing level. His subpar arm length leads to why he finds himself chest-to-chest with defenders. Perry could also work on having fluid footwork on run blocks.

In spite of his limitations, Thomas Perry plays with a mean streak that you can’t teach. He is a developmental interior offensive lineman who could develop his techniques, and the team that drafts him could have a starter at guard in a few years. Thomas Perry is expected to be selected in the mid-day 3 or possibly a priority undrafted free agent.
