Denzel Perryman was born in Miami. He was raised in Miami.
He attended Coral Gables Senior High, its campus four minutes from his college alma mater, the University of Miami.
The NFL veterans he speaks to regularly — Jonathan Vilma, D.J. Williams, Jon Beason, Sean Spence — all were former college linebackers, like him, at Miami. The same goes for his favorite childhood player, Ray Lewis, whose No. 52 he wore in college and will again in San Diego.
San Diego.
The wrench to it all.
He knew next to nothing about the Chargers when they drafted him May 1, surprised they even had his number. But they’d been watching him. At a game last year, General Manager Tom Telesco heard him.
Perryman wants to show San Diego it was right — and Miami, in this case, was wrong.
