The Carolina Panthers selected Michigan LB Michael Barrett in the 7th round of the draft at pick No. 240. Barrett, a versatile player, spent six years at Michigan, excelling in both offense and defense. He is known for his speed, physical play, and forceful demeanor, despite lacking ideal size and playmaking reaction time. Barrett is considered a bargain bin version of Nick Bolton and is expected to contribute on special teams for the Panthers.
Like Jaden Crumedy, Panthers' 7th-rd pick Michael Barrett has seen some things. He spent six yrs at Michigan, leaving as the school's all-time winningest player. The 24-year-old played offense & defense his first two years in Ann Arbor. Unlike Crumedy, he can play special teams.
10! Michigan LB Michael Barrett is off the board at pick No. 240 to the Carolina Panthers. https://t.co/ItTXH9SaB4 https://t.co/FKjvtch188
Panthers take one of Harbaugh's guys at 240 -- Michigan LB Michael Barrett. The Beast: "Barrett doesn’t have the size teams desire in base and lacks playmaking reaction time, but he plays fast and physically with a forceful demeanor. He is a bargain bin version of Nick Bolton."
Michael Barrett is my LB20 Downhill tackler. Good tackle technique. Plays smart and doesn't get out of position. Special teamer. Not a good athlete. Stiff. Won't cover. Sideline to sideline ability is limited. Back-up at best. #Panthers #HallamAnalysis
Michigan LB Michael Barrett goes to the Panthers, 7th round, pick 240.
