The Cleveland Browns had dinner with University of Central Florida wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Sunday in Orlando, according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio.
General manager Ray Farmer and other team officials met with Perriman, one of a group of wide receivers who are considered worthy of a first round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-2 Perriman is a wide receiver that could step in and help the Browns’ offense stretch the field. This is what our own Paul Noel had to say in his draft profile of Perriman:
- Route Running & Agility – Perriman has the size and speed to accelerate and get to full speed in a hurry, his initial quickness allows him to create enough space, and makes him an ideal target on deep passing routes. Perriman is an unpolished route runner, but he does have a long deceptive stride that lets him beat a cushion defense and attack deep. Perriman has a tendency to give away routes by turning his body too early before the breaks. Perriman is though an elusive runner that does well in space and can gain much-needed yards after the catch.
- Pass Catching Ability – Perriman is a well-balanced player that possesses great body control and sure hands needed to catch the ball away from his frame. Although Perriman does have issues with dropped passes, he does displays the toughness to make catches in traffic and can hold onto the ball through contact. Perriman has an excellent catch radius; he shows the ability to catch the ball at the high point (although he sometimes jump’s early) and also makes catches away from his body.
The Browns added wide receivers Dwayne Bowe and Brian Hartline in free agency, and are returning Andrew Hawkins, Travis Benjamin and Taylor Gabriel, but many still expect them to add a wide receiver at some point this weekend in the draft.
Meeting with Perriman could be another step in that direction.
