Barnett didn’t put together the strongest combine performance. But considering the defensive end reportedly took part in the combine despite a stomach virus, that may not discourage the New Orleans Saints from calling his name come draft day.
That’s four pounds above the NFL average for a defensive end. But it’s also on the lower end of the spectrum at the combine, where players have worked out and put up water weight specifically for the weigh-in. Among the top prospects, only Takkarist McKinley, Tim Williams, Charles Harris, and Tashawn Bower weighed less.
