Barnes was picked off the Dolphins practice squad. Ran a 4.22 which is smoking. Now the tough part. Can he play the game like the little things such as locating the ball, route recognition, tackling that's just the start. Maybe he'll get some action.

At least with the 4.22 speed if he makes a mistake he has a chance to recover and not allow a TD. Picking up the playbook quickly will be the biggest challenge.

Video says very fast straight line speed. Not fluid hips, but straight line, he can fly.
Also, just under 6' tall so good height, length, speed guy. Has a ways to go, but cannot teach length and speed !!!

That's a good point about the playbook. Our current guys are confused as hell and they have been around it well before training camp. Another reason Donny needs the boot. They keep adding up.

If he could, chances are he wouldn't have been available on their practice squad.

We added DT Sheldon Day to our practice squad.
