Over the Labor Day weekend, there was a bit of UFL movement on NFL rosters. The Atlanta Falcons have brought back former Birmingham Stallions DE Ronnie Perkins, re-signing him to their practice squad.
Ronnie Perkins was the definition of a leader for Birmingham’s defense. He was a Team Captain, and posted a strong 69.8 Defensive Grade via PFF throughout the season.
Unfortunately, he was placed on IR midway through the year. It was terrible timing, as Ronnie was hitting his stride, having totaled 16 tackles and 3.5 sacks in just five games (five starts).
Perkins joined Atlanta for the final week of the preseason. He immediately made an impact, with an impressive three tackles and four QB pressures in one appearance.
Ronnie immediately made an impact, which was made clear by his strong 80.2 pass rush grade via PFF. Now, he gets a chance to stick in Atlanta, signing back to their practice squad after originally being released during cut downs.
