Melvin Gordon reached out to Samaje Perine about rushing record

Not only is Melvin Gordon fast, but he's a class act.

Shortly after Oklahoma running back Samaje Perine broke the Wisconsin running back's recent FBS single-game rushing record, the two had a laugh together over Twitter, ESPN's Jake Trotter reports.

"He sent me a direct message, saying congratulations," Perine said. "We then joked around a little bit back and forth."

Just a week after Gordon broke LaDainian Tomlinson's 15-year-old FBS record for rushing yards in a game with 408, Perine set a new mark on Saturday with 427 yards in Oklahoma's 44-7 win over Kansas.
