Patriots tight ends coach Shane Waldron was in Cincinnati earlier this week (Tuesday) to work out tight end/defensive end Connor Barwin, who many feel is a Mike Vrabel clone.
Barwin was a tight end, and converted to a defensive end this past season.
During the NFL’s scouting combine, he talked about being like Vrabel, given he can be a defensive starter, and also have some cameo appearances as a tight end in short-yardage or goal line situations.
”The question you get asked a lot is, ‘Who do you emulate your game after?” said Barwin. ”I don’t emulate my game after anybody; I think you pick up things here and there, but the one player that you guys (media) have heard that I get compared to a lot is Mike Vrabel, just because of the size and playing defense then being able to catch touchdowns in the red zone as a tight end. That’s the one obvious comparison that I hear about so far.”
