Will overshoot run plays a lot
Final Report
Barham is a former middle linebacker that is on a promising trajectory as a full time standup edge defender. He's a great athlete with long arms and his play speed jumps out on tape. There is burst in his initial jump off the snap and he constantly keeps tackles off balance with his rush angles. He doesn't consistently convert speed to power, but his frame should be able to add mass beyond his listed 240 as he gets away from playing off ball linebacker. While he has length, he has not learned how to utilize it yet to consistently keep blockers off of his chest. When that happens, he finds himself on the ground or in a stalemate. His explosiveness led to him blowing up run plays behind the line of scrimmage, but that also works against him when he runs himself out of plays. Overall, Barham's traits are incredibly intriguing and could blossom from good front seven player to great in the right situation. I would be willing to bet on him day two for a 3-4 front.
