Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Shows good instincts when facing the action in zone coverage, and Barron has solid ball skills.
  • Great on route recognition and has click-and-close ability
  • Can get up on the line of scrimmage and deliver a solid punch early in routes, then use that quickness to shadow, or back off and close quickly when the ball comes out
  • Barron has good size and is a fluid mover, capable of mirroring quickness underneath
  • Can track the ball downfield and gets his head around when playing in a trail position, and he shows excellent ball skills when breaking on a route. He’s a plus tackler in run support as well.
  • He’s also very good in zone coverage, showing a great understanding of routes and the ability to close quickly.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Tends to play conservatively and give too much cushion when playing off.
  • Barron runs well, but Barron doesn’t have elite recovery speed.
  • The majority of the time last season, he was able to physically overwhelm opposing receivers early in the down, a scenario that won’t play out as often against NFL receivers.
