Barry Gardner
Jonathan Daniel/Allsport
He is a tough instinctive player with more limited skills than the other top guys at ILB. He has enough size and strength to be effective versus the inside run, but he does not show a lot of quickness and he does not really as fast as his speed indicates. He has been a very productive guy and is close to being an overachiever. He is not a great cover guy and could be exposed in pass defense. With all his limitations, he is a good football player that will make a lot of plays, but his lack of skills may limit him from being a great one.
