KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Shawn Barber is standing statue-still in the Kansas City Chiefs' locker room after a recent home game against the Chicago Bears. In the flurry of chaotic activity -- players dressing, reporters bouncing from locker to locker collecting quotes, equipment guys trying to put everything in order -- he can be easy to miss, or at least as easy to miss as a 6-foot-2, 240-pound former Chiefs linebacker can be.
Barber himself doesn’t miss much. He’s keeping vigil as one of the NFL’s two uniform inspectors at every Arrowhead Stadium game.
