Barnes in East West Shrine Bowl

Freddie Barnes played Saturday in the East West Shrine Bowl.  I have the game on my DVR, and I am going to take a look at it later.  In the meantime, Freddie was targeted eight times during the game and made four receptions for 40 yards.  Three of those receptions came from Mike Kafka of Northwestern on the final drive, and on consecutive plays as well.

He also had a punt return for 3 yards.

He got excellent reviews during the week of practice.  Obviously, we know he has good hands and is a football player.  He is working to bring his times down before the draft.  He wasn't invite to the combine, however, and I have even seen some comments from him that he may end up going the UDFA route, which is fine, too.  You just want your shot.
