EJ Perry is Brown University’s quarterback. He recently accepted an invitation to play in February’s East-West Shrine Bowl, one of the most prestigious college showcase games, where top players spend a week in Las Vegas conducting interviews with and practicing in front of all 32 NFL teams. By the time you read this page, he may be playing in the NFL.

“It’s just so obvious he has the arm talent, the athletic ability to be a really intriguing prospect, at the very least,” said Eric Galko, the director of football operations for the Shrine Bowl. “We think he’s one of the best senior quarterbacks in the entire country.” He continued, “make no mistake, he’s arguably the most athletic quarterback in the entire draft class.”

One NFL scout compared Perry to Washington quarterback Taylor Heinecke, with “some magician-like qualities to his game.” Listed at 6-2 and 210 pounds, Perry threw for almost 6,000 yards and rushed for more than 1,100 yards in his two seasons at Brown.

“He’s fun to watch,” the scout added. “I could see some NFL coaches falling in love with the way E.J. plays the game and taking a shot on him in the mid- to late-rounds.”

Perry’s 114 career touchdowns and 8,712 passing yards are second-most in Massachusetts history.
