Great story from some of Perry's former coaches, talks a bit about growing up in some nasty parts of Detroit yet still staying focused.

These are the types of things we find out after the draft.
TT & crew know all about his history from childbirth.
Everyone I've talked to said Nick Perry should have gone higher in the first.
I hope, once again, I'm Rong & TT is right.

I liked this from the article:
“He’s not going to be out there talking (expletive) and dancing around,” Howe said. “That’s not him.”
and this:
advice he's getting for Larry Foote:
The text read: “Go down there and don’t take anything for granted. (Try) like you’re a seventh-round pick.”

Sounds like he has as good a support system off the field as he will on the field. I think that is just as important as having good coaches and veteran leaders. Some of these guys only have leaches from the old neighborhood around them and don't let them stay on track. I get the feeling that's exactly what happened to Johnny Jolly. A guy like Larry Foote, who has been a consistent player in the NFL for many years, is a really good mentor for this Perry to have I think.
