“Alabama barely held him together,” said an NFC scout. “As a pro, he’s a real wild-card.“
I asked another scout if he had any specifics, and he said that just general accountability — getting to practice and class — was a struggle for him and Barmore has to be in a very tightly controlled environment, like Alabama has, to succeed. Barmore also was in a very heavy rotation — most players with his talent play upwards of 70 percent of snaps. His playing time just kept dropping to about a 50-50 split. That’s very unusual and sent scouts digging for answers.
“I think he’s going to be a big-time bust,” said one scout, again, before the Patriots picked him.
Then Again, it's not easy to play for BB. He is not like other NFL coaches. I hope he works out, I saw his highlight film and was really impressed.
