Perrish Eugene Cox (born January 10, 1987) is a former American football cornerback and return specialist. He was selected by the Denver Broncos in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL draft. He played college football at Oklahoma State.

Early life

[edit]

Cox attended University High School in Waco, Texas, where he was a standout on both sides of the football. As a senior, Cox recorded 27 tackles and led the team with nine interceptions. On offense, he had 47 catches for 670 yards and 12 touchdowns. He earned first-team Class 4A all-state honors, first-team all-Central Texas honors, and played in the 2006 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Also a standout track & field athlete, Cox was one of the state's top performers in both sprints and jumps. As a sprinter, Cox had a personal-best time of 21.55 seconds in the 200-meter dash, and in jumps, he posted bests of 7.56 meters (24-7) in the long jump and 14.60 meters (47-9) in the triple jump.[1]

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Cox was listed as the No. 8 cornerback prospect in the nation.[2] He chose Oklahoma State over LSU, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.

College career

[edit]

In his true freshman year at Oklahoma State, Cox became the first Cowboy since Barry Sanders to open a season with a kickoff return for a touchdown when he went 96 yards against Missouri State. Playing both on defense and special teams, Cox had 24 tackles on defense while breaking up five passes. His 595 kickoff return yards in 2006 represent the third best single-season total in school history.

Cox became a starter during his sophomore year, as he started the last eight games of the regular season at cornerback. He tied for second on the team with two interceptions while breaking up eight passes, and was also credited with 42 tackles. Cox averaged 21.5 yards on 31 kickoff returns and his 631 kickoff return yards are second best for Oklahoma State in a single season.

As a junior, Cox again returned the first kickoff of the season 90 yards for a touchdown against Washington State. He finished the season with 32 tackles, eight pass break-ups, and two interceptions.

Cox entered his senior season just 110 kickoff return yards short of the Big 12 career record. In November 2009, he was named one of the twelve semifinalists for the 2009 Jim Thorpe Award.[3]

Professional career

[edit]

Pre-draft

[edit]

Cox was considered one of the best cornerbacks available in the 2010 NFL draft.[4][5] His draft stock dropped after a slow 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, but he was able to improve his workout numbers at OSU's Pro Day.[6]
