Scouting Report: Strengths
- Barham takes proper angles and shows impressive closing speed. He’s also outstanding in space and is one of the best coverage guys in this class.
- He’s a sure and violent wrap-up tackler with sideline-to-sideline range. He’s an excellent tackler in space, showing loose hips and the ability to break down and contain runners.
- Reads the quarterback to anticipate and is a candidate to play outside.
- Has the fluid hips and long arms to turn and run with tight ends, as well as excellent range when dropping into zone coverage.
- Ferocious against the run and very good in coverage, is extremely versatile. Despite his build, Barham holds up well in traffic and makes a lot of plays by engaging a block, shedding, and pursuing.
- Gets pressures on inside stunts and was too explosive for college guards to handle.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- As a run defender, he’s too much of a grab-and-drag tackler, lacking violence and too frequently allowing running backs to escape.
- Barham lacks the ability to drop weight and anchor against the run, getting manhandled at the point of attack.
- He lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. Barham lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
