New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore didn’t crack ESPN’s recent top-10 list for NFL defensive tackles. It was a list compiled from the opinions of league executives, coaches and scouts.
However, Barmore did receive an honorable mention.
The veteran defensive lineman recorded 64 combined tackles and 8.5 sacks last season. He came into his own as a pass-rusher and a run-stopper for the Patriots.
The Alabama product was selected in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft, and he has been a mainstay on the Patriots’ defensive line ever since.
