Where does Thomas Barber play?



Did Damien Wilson come off for nickel and dime packages or was he an every down linebacker? I'm recalling that Claeys left him in most plays, figuring he could handle pass coverage. I'd think they would expect Barber, if he plays MLB, to be able to do the same.
And, btw, there's 18 LBs and DE's that ran faster than a 4.7 40 just in the NFL combine (not including draftees with a secured high draft position not attending), even more on recruits page of Gopher Illustrated (not including a lot of previously committed players). So if Thomas is a 4.8 as you say, that's pretty average speed for a front seven guy.
And we all have heard how Kill is emphasizing speed, right.

Average speed for 21-22 year olds who are the best of the best out of hundreds of college teams and spent months prepping for the combine. Not average speed for HS LBs.
 


I like what Thomas had to say. With his great attitude, he'll surely make a contribution, whether at LB or some other position. And btw, even he mentioned he needs to increase his speed.
