A great article from Scout.com, which goes into his mindset and motivation.
It also shows that Barwin's parents are no dummies.
Hmmm. . . . I wonder who he might be talking about?

And a quick note from Michael Abromowitz at The Football Expert:

"Connor will say, 'I want to play wherever I can play the most'. His mother will say, 'I want him to play wherever is the closest to me so I can go see him play as often as possible'," Tom Barwin said. "But I think what all of us are really hoping for is that he plays for a good organization that is going to be competitive, will have a shot to be in the playoffs and the Super Bowl—an organization that's got some good veterans who are willing to put a young player under their wings to mentor.

Connor Barwin, DE/OLB/TE, Cincinnati
Barwin is the most popular player in the draft, or at least the player that I get the most emails about. I could be a millionaire for every nickel I got from fans telling me that Barwin “can also be a team’s 3rd string tight end.” After a great Combine, Barwin’s stock has increased rapidly, and he could very well be drafted in round 1. Many readers have emailed wanting their team to bypass on Everette Brown/Aaron Maybin in the 1st round because they could get just as good of value with Barwin in the 2nd round. Well if that is the case, I wouldn’t expect Barwin to last until 2nd round. Barwin’s athleticism and ability to play tight end has made fans thinking he could be the best steal in the draft. Problem is he probably won’t be a steal as every NFL team is aware of his talents.
