I'm admittedly going to be a pessimist here (although more optimistic than at least one of you). He didn't have much experience as a d-lineman in college, doesn't seem to have much technique and I'm unsure how often he's going to get onto the field in Bush's defensive scheme.
Barwin's a good athlete with a promising upside but I'm going into this year with rather low expectations for him. Much like fellow Bearcat Antwan Peek, he's going to have to learn his position and find his niche before he sees a lot of playing time. And, no, I don't see Barwin as being like Peek. He probably reminds me more of Babin. Hopefully, his career will be better than Peek and Babin combined.
