There are players you like. You like talking to them and you like watching them play. Kenjon Barner is one of them for me.
A Carolina Panthers running back and return specialist, he has quick twitch reactions, the instant kind, here and then gone.
“I’ve always been a fast kid,” says Barner, 29. “I spent a lot of time running from my older brothers growing up. I had five older brothers so I spent a lot of time trying to get away from them.”
Barner grew up outside Los Angeles in Riverside, Calif., and became a star at Oregon.
