UCLA RB Paul Perkins still mulling NFL draft decision

On Monday, someone asked Paul Perkins if he’s thought about what he wants to do after the season.

“Uh, sleep?” he said. “Eating?”

As for the NFL, the UCLA running back insisted that he hasn’t yet made a decision. The redshirt junior was the Pac-12 rushing champion in 2014, and was effective this year even when slowed by a midseason knee injury. One factor in him considering a return is a shot at the Bruins’ all-time rushing record. He is only 980 yards away from Johnathan Franklin’s career record of 4,403, set from 2009-12.

“That’s super cool,” he said. “That’d be so awesome.”
