This is mainly due to how often he\u2019s been injured. When he\u2019s been on the field, he\u2019s been a tackling leader for the Chargers defense\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">and also<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0one of their better linebackers. But in the last two years, he\u2019s only played 16 games. It would be interesting to see what he could do if he could play a full season.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the 2018 season, he played only nine games before being put on injured reserve with a knee injury. In the nine games he did play, he got in on the tackle 51 times with 30 of those being solo tackles. He did not have any sacks, but he did pull down an interception. As noted earlier, he contributed when he was out on the field, but his season was unfortunately cut short.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Perryman played football in high school at Coral Gables Senior High School in Florida. He then played football in college with the Miami Hurricanes. While he was there, he made first-team All-ACC twice in 2013 and 2014. He also made third-team All-American in 2014 as well, marking a quite successful senior year for him.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Perryman was drafted in 2015 by the Chargers (while they were still in San Diego) in the 2<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">nd<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0round with the 48<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">th<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0pick. His rookie season saw him play the most games he\u2019s ever played in one season (14). Thus far in his career, he has put up 233 tackles (175 of them solo), four sacks, two interceptions, and one forced fumble. He will be looking once again to have a bounce-back season in 2019 and stay healthy.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"hbVBFYt0Rp10-2ZEwMPSLw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1066683304\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'hbVBFYt0Rp10-2ZEwMPSLw',sig:'0U9yKx5YtbqW-xDXJ_eZ5alQbAVxcn1sIfjpCzQUipk=',w:'594px',h:'401px',items:'1066683304',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linebacker Denzel Perryman is coming off a season cut short by a knee injury which saw him finish with 51 tackles and one interception. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2355,"featured_media":60353,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,18],"tags":[3451,61,1501,40],"class_list":["post-60350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-chargers","tag-denzel-perryman","tag-football","tag-los-angeles-chargers","tag-nfl"],"modified_by":"Will Noltie, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2355"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
