PrintOn March 16, 15 NFL teams went to Bowling Green's Pro Day to scout a kid named Freddie Barnes. Bengals receiver coaches were there, watching Barnes put up a "40-yard dash in 4.67 and 4.70 seconds, had a 30 1/2-inch vertical jump, an 8-foot, 11-inch broad jump, a 4.55-second short shuttle, a 7.16-second three-cone drill and did 12 bench press repetitions at 225 pounds."
I know. Those attributes tend to mean very little when it comes to evaluating football players. Game tape is kind of an accurate description of a player's abilities. In 2009, the wide receiver caught 155 passes, for 1,770 yards receiving and 19 receiving touchdowns -- he had 21 touchdowns total. In eight of his 12 games in 2009, Barnes caught 10 passes or more including four games with 14 receptions or more. Against Kent State, Barnes caught 22 passes for 278 yards and three touchdowns. In a seven game stretch to close the season, he caught 14 touchdowns.

Yea...
Those are some weak numbers. I wonder what Hoosh’s combine numbers were though. Considering he was a round 7 pick… prolly pretty weak
How tall is Chad?
Just wondering

I’ve checked this guy out since last year, this guy is a monster and a sleeper. If we get him in the 5th, he could be a steal.
If you don't live like you wanna, you live like you shouldn't
5th is where you would have to take him if you want him
he is more likely to go in the 6th-7th

I know that measurables aren't everything
but his look pretty weak across the board. He’d have to be a pretty special player to even consider.
Pass.
This is our year!
Upon further scouting...
he also likes long walks on the beach, pillow fights, and the soulful sound of the backstreet boys.
depends on who you get them from.
if it’s joe blogger in his basement then i don’t pay much attention.

With the comp picks,
we may even take him as a late four, but if he’s around in the fifth, grab him. And definitely Collaros for Heisman.
Watch the video, he led the country in nearly every WR category

Not saying he is a 21st overall pick

You know his problem?
He didn’t go to UC. If that were the case, we’d have to have him.
+1
then everybody would say take him at 21 or we wont get him in the 2nd!

Oh yea thanks ESPN, you Cincy haters
they seemed to forget our pick in their sportscenter “on the clock”
I guess 21 isnt a number
They went from 20 to 22 without talking about us
Thanks again ESPN You suck

Former BG guy here...
so I’ve seen lots of him. Not only has he played WR, but he has approx 1 year as QB and 1 as HB. He was a good HB and an okay, although Tebowesque, QB. He is an athlete for sure. If it were late enough I’d be all for getting him. I think he could easily be plugged into TE with some work, or just used in trick plays for a while. Don’t be so quick to dismiss, he’s worth a LOOK for sure. Oh, also, he holds the season reception record and was one of 5 nominees for that college wr award (the name escapes me) that went to Golden.
You are all wrong.
