The Dolphins have signed seventh-round pick Malcolm Perry, as Field Yates of ESPN.com tweets. The fleet-footed quarterback out of Navy is expected to play running back as a pro. 
Last year, Perry racked up 2,017 yards for the Midshipmen, who run a variation of the triple-option. He was listed as a QB, but Perry only threw for ~1,000 yards in 2019 while spending a good chunk of snaps in the “A-back position” – in essence, that means lining up as a running back.
Perry’s versatility should come in handy for the Dolphins, though they’ll have to carve out practice reps as a receiver. The feeling is that Perry’s athleticism will lend itself well to WR assignments, but he had just 22 catches in college and zero receptions last year.
The Dolphins have now inked the majority of their gargangtuan draft class. Here’s the full rundown, via PFR’s tracker:
1-5: Tua Tagovailoa, QB (Alabama): Signed
1-18: Austin Jackson, T (Miami)
1-30: Noah Igbinoghene, CB (Auburn)
2-39: Robert Hunt, OL (Louisiana)
2-56: Raekwon Davis, DL (Alabama): Signed
3-70: Brandon Jones, S (Texas): Signed
4-111: Solomon Kindley, OL (Georgia): Signed
5-154: Jason Strowbridge, DT (UNC): Signed
5-164: Curtis Weaver, DE (Boise State): Signed
6-185: Blake Ferguson, LS (LSU): Signed
7-246: Malcolm Perry, WR/RB (Navy): Signed
The Navy offense is always so weirdly intriguing and fun
Folks, the plan for Malcolm is as a hybrid, a cross between James White & Darren Sproles. Expect to see him more often coming out of the backfield. For a player with 2101 yards rushing (4th QB in NCAA history with at least 2,000 yards on the ground) after gaining over 1,000 yards rushing in both his soph & junior years, using him as strictly a WR is like having the Mona Lisa but hanging it up in a garage – no one gets to appreciate it.
I prefer the fountain by Marcel Duchamp which belongs hanged in the men’s room.
I’m quite intrigued by this pick. Let’s see what Chan has in store for him.
Dolphins had a great draft. Beefed up the oline and added depth to an already improved defense..
