You have to see Breshad Perriman’s first career reception to believe it, and it’s even harder to believe considering all he’s been through.
The Ravens receiver caught this 35-yard pass from Joe Flacco in his first NFL game, beating Stephen Gilmore’s coverage.
WELCOME TO THE NFL, @B_Perriman11!
His first ever catch is… WOW. #BUFvsBAL https://t.co/tsaiSvtPGz

Perriman was chosen in the first round of the 2015 draft, 26th overall, but he missed his rookie season with a torn PCL. Then in June, he suffered a partially torn ACL and it looked like his second season was in jeopardy.
The Ravens suffered a laundry list of injuries last season and finished 5-11, their worst record since 2007. Perriman helped them jump out to a 10-0 second-quarter lead over the Bills at home, and his highlight-reel catch was a sight for the Ravens’ sore eyes.
