Perez split minutes with DeAndre Johnson this season, but took the majority of snaps down the stretch. With Johnson injured for a few weeks, it allowed Perez to take control, and he excelled.

Very impressive play from both Luis Perez and Braedon Bowman.

Gotta scramble up into the pocket, direct traffic, and then Bowman to make the contested catch in the end zone. Awesome play. pic.twitter.com/U1Ain9nEbs

The QB finished the season with 1,200 yards, and nine touchdowns – with only one interception. He was phenomenal from the get go, being one of the most accurate passers in the USFL.

Perez led the Generals to the USFL playoffs, as they finished with a league best 9-1 record. In the semi-finals, New Jersey fell short to Philadelphia – but Perez put up solid numbers regardless.

One of his season highlights came in week six, as the team battled the Houston Gamblers. Down by five, with a couple of minutes left, Perez led the team down the field – before sneaking the ball into the end zone himself to win the game.

LUIS PEREZ CALLED GAME 🔥🔥🔥
