Ravens' Breshad Perriman: Harbaugh confident in 2017 upside

Coach John Harbaugh is confident that Perriman can step into a larger role in 2017 following the retirement of Steve Smith and the potential release of Mike Wallace. "He's super talented. I think Breshad has really come a long way in terms of his work ethic, his attention to detail, his professionalism," said Harbaugh at his combine press conference.

Perriman, 23, had a successful first full season as a pro in 2016 after sitting out his rookie season due to a knee issue. He reeled in 33 of his 66 targets for 499 yards and three touchdowns and truly began to flash his potential in the second half of the season. With Smith gone, that leaves 101 targets unaccounted for, and if Wallace departs as a cap casualty, that'd be another 117 targets that the Ravens would have to redistribute. Perriman would be the obvious choice to take on a larger role given his talent and his status as a former first-round pick. He already was entering 2017 with a brighter outlook following Smith's retirement, but if Wallace is to leave as well, Perriman would be the presumptive favorite to secure the No. 1 role out wide.
