A 4-3 one-gap penetrating front that prioritizes athletic defensive ends who can disrupt backfields and play with leverage.
Could contribute immediately as a rotational pass rusher and eventually develop into a foundational every-down starter.
A more passive 3-4 two-gap scheme that emphasizes holding the line of scrimmage over penetration.
Barnett's immediate impact as a pass rusher and run defender makes him a valuable asset in an aggressive defensive scheme.
Selected #14 overall in Round 1 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Philadelphia Eagles out of Tennessee.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
