Perkins missed the entire 1960 season due to a broken foot, but he was a star in 1961, winning the Rookie of the Year Award with a 1,113 Yards from Scrimmage year and a Pro Bowl Selection. He was a First Team All-Pro the year after, again with a 1,000 pus YFS year. Perkins played his entire career with the Cowboys, and would go to four more Pro Bowls, and would have 7,527 Yards From Scrimmage. It is definitely worth mentioning that he was also an extraordinary blocker.
Perkins earned a place in the Cowboys Ring of Honor in 1976.
