In 1993, he set school and NCAA records with 3,757 yards passing and 4,052 yards of total offense.

After graduating in 1994, Klein was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the fourth round (111th pick overall) of the NFL Draft. That year, Perry played sparingly in two games and went 0-1 passing. While he remained on the roster during the 1995 season, he did not play in any games. In 1996, he was waived by the team and played with the Amsterdam Admirals in the World League (now NFL Europe).
