He's stiff in the hips, runs poor routes (or at the very least lazy ones) which makes it look really sloppy when he's running the route or after the catch. Apparently fast from his pro day numbers, wouldn't think he was that fast. Very little movement skills in terms of agility and quickness. Sure he is a big body and has strength but there's plenty of those guys. I'm not saying he's going to bust but all of this 1st round talk, in rookie drafts and the NFL, is a reach, at least in my mind. He's pretty much a 1 trick pony right now and that trick is run deep while he uses his body to shield defenders. I've seen it around a couple times on the old interweb that he isn't a dedicated worker on his craft, although I have no idea if it's true. If it is I wouldn't be surprised because to me it comes off that way from what I have seen of the guy.
Sounds like Kevin White. Perriman is actually quite fluid in the hips:

He rounded that route like the start of a circle.... Not exactly a good endorsement. Again lazy, or he just can't do it properly. As for comparing him to White, I see more natural athleticism on the field and the quickness for him is hands down much better than Perriman's. White is what you hope Perriman can become.
You said he has "stiff hips". He clearly does not. But nice strawman. Does Alshon Jeffery run "lazy" routes? Or does he simply move in a certain way? It's frustrating when people don't understand human movement. You want him to be fluid and he is, now he's "lazy"? So you want him to be "stiffer" and less smooth so he can be sharper? It's the same, or opposite with Sammie Coates. People say he's 'stiff', but he actually makes sharp cuts. Then people say he's not smooth. Then if he's smooth, he's just lazy.
I never said he was lazy. For a guy who constantly nitpicks, yet calls people out for not reading their posts it's quite contradictory. I said the way he runs routes is lazy, or he can't do it the right way. The way he runs the shorter routes doesn't make me believe he's doing it with full effort. The longer ones, yes because he likely knows he can get past any DB. Maybe he just hasn't had good enough coaching to do it the way I would expect, that could be the case. Or like Jurb said, his high center of gravity doesn't physically let him, in which case I'd say he'd be very limited in the NFL to what he can do. We don't know the root of the issue. To add some more clarification to what I meant the 1st time, The way he cuts is stiff in his hips. Especially when he already has the ball.
When I say stiff I mean it in regards to the way a player cuts. If the routes are rounded, that's either 1. They haven't learned the best technique to run that route. 2. They physically can't get to the top, sink, and move (ie. stiff)
