Fans are loving Bryce Perkins' wild touchdown for the Michigan Panthers

Michigan Panthers' quarterback Bryce Perkins recently captured the attention of the fans with a jaw-dropping touchdown run during a game against the DC Defenders in the United Football League (UFL). The sensational bit of play saw him shrugging off multiple defenders, pivoting sharply to evade the sack, getting off balance, and somehow still finding teammate Cole Hikutini for the 35-yard touchdown.

The moment displayed Bryce Perkins' vision and sheer willpower, as he turned the momentum of the match in Panthers' favor, and they ran out comfortable winners 38-14 in the end. Bryce had a hand in three touchdowns during the match, and his moment of inspiration drew gasps from the crowd at the stadium and the audience sitting at home as well. Social media users were similarly chuffed to see the sensational piece of athleticism on display, as fans sang his praises all day:

"Bryce Perkins is a fun QB to watch, he's my choice for UFL MVP right now," commented one fan.

"He's playing a video game out there today. Anyone who criticized the UFL this season for lackluster quarterback play... tune into this game. You'll be entertained. Bryce Perkins is BALLING," remarked another.

"Players like Bryce Perkins is why the NFL needs a spring league where guys can get live reps. Perkins has improved so much the last couple of seasons," added another fan.

More reactions followed thereafter, as many users declared Perkins to be their choice for the season MVP:

"Yeah I hate to say as he’s on a rival team but give Bryce Perkins the MVP. He is unreal," quipped a rival fan.

"It was so much fun to watch him at UVA. I saw him hurdle like four guys in a single game once (that is how I remember it and I’m sticking by it)," wrote another.

"Only reason this is impressive because it’s wild how bad defensive play can be," opined another fan.

The Aftermath of Bryce Perkins' play

Perkins was able to inspire the Michigan Panthers to a win as he completed 13 passes for 188 yards during the match. The dynamic performance by Perkins put the Panthers in control of the game at home and set the tone for the rest of the afternoon, allowing the Panthers to dominate. His electric display caught the eyes of football enthusiasts and casuals alike, and he shared his thoughts on his state of mind in a post-match interview with ESPN:

"Well, just stay up, try to stay strong in the legs. And when you get out there, it's hard for defenses. When you extend plays, they got to come up long time. So I'm trying to train myself to keep the eyes downfield, and they guys did a great job of getting open. So, made a play, got to keep rolling."

Michigan Panthers' coach Mike Nolan was similarly impressed with the victory and shared his thoughts in a post-match press conference, in which he singled out Perkins for his efforts:

"I think the offense did an exceptional job. That's two weeks in a row where they've gotten over 400 yards of offense, which is very good. And obviously, Bryce Perkins played an outstanding football game. All the stats don't even need to be mentioned; you guys can look him up, but as you well know, he played lights out. I thought he made a tremendous amount of plays. Just your athletic ability and things like that, things that you don't really draw up on the play."
