Yes, it comes from our favorite binky, but it's not about him directly.
In fact, this was a part of the interview Box posted on the Barwin thread, but I felt it was important enough to promote it to its own thread. [Please note I have edited for length and, ahem, accuracy.]
I don't know what to make of that, really.

Q: A number of people feel you've earned a spot in the late part of round one and could end up with either the New England Patriots or Miami Dolphins? Have you spent a lot of time with those teams?
Connor Barwin: Patriots tight end coach Shane Waldron came and worked me out in a private visit. I leave March 29 for a visit with the Patriots this week.
Q: Have they spoken to you about playing OLB? DE? TE?
Connor Barwin: The LOLphins [] came to work me out as an outside linebacker. One of their coaches told me he sees me as a better tight end, but he’s the only guy in the organization who sees me as a tight end, everyone else sees me as an outside linebacker. As far as the Patriots go, their tight ends coach said he came and worked me out because he liked me at tight end. But they keep defense and offense completely separate, so he didn’t know what they thought of me as a defensive player.
