Looking for your favorite sleeper pick in the NFL Draft?
Look no further. Linebacker/Edge Rusher Derrick Barnes is a fan favorite in West Lafayette and soon will be for someone’s NFL Team.
A 4 year starter at Purdue, Derrick Barnes was placed all over the field. He played Inside Linebacker, Outside Linebacker and Defensive End. He was a stat stuffer, totaling over 226 tackles, 10 sacks in 39 career games.
Barnes was the senior leader for the Boilermakers this past fall, he was a small bright spot on an otherwise dreadful defense.
He was already in the talks as a day 3 steal, then came his pro day.
