Who the heck is Jamal Perry?

[1238576073jb]

I don't know why, but I have ZERO memory of Jamal Perry? Apparently, he was a fairly skilled DB who graduated in 2017 & has contributed at Miami for the last three years

Why do I have no memory of him?

Jomal Wiltz. He changed his name.

It's Jomal Wiltz's new name

 

[Gunnerclone]

Just do a little Google machining.

 

[DeereClone]

Is there a story behind the name change?

 

[1238576073jb]

Ah, well I definitely remember Jomal Wiltz

 

[clonedude]

It's Jomal Wiltz's new name

So he changed his first name too?

 

[VeloClone]

Don Smith is very upset about this new trend of athletes changing their names.

I can't find any reason so far, but Jamal's father's last name is Perry. So, my best guess is to match his father's surname.

I actually didn’t even remember much about Jomal Wiltz either during his time here. Shows how in tune I was before 2017.

 

[ISUCubswin]

According to cyclones.com, his fathers last name is Perry. I don’t see any mentioning of a Wiltz in his bio other than his name.

Also, FWIW, from this last preseason

Not much to remember, he certainly didn't scream NFL talent while he was here. Glad he found good opportunity and team to make it, but one of the more surprising NFL alumni that we've had.

He was the fastest guy on the team when he was here.

 

[Al_4_State]

He was a good player for us. I forget that he changed his name.

 

[ISUCubswin]

He was a great player for us. Probably not a majorly memorable name because the teams he played on were terrible. They were 6-18.

Remember Leonard Johnson? I remember he was originally projected a top 5 CB in the draft until his 40 dash time killed his stock. He had a nice NFL career though.

I think he came from JUCO so he was kind of raw here

 

[ISUMojoMan]

I could see a good, even great, DB on a bad team going unnoticed. Opponents never had to challenge him since success was easily found elsewhere.
