Shaquil Barrett, OLB

The word is that Demarcus Ware is going to be on a limited snap count. This could be a huge opportunity for Shaquil Barrett. Steven did talk a bit about Shane Ray and I completely agree with him on that. I see a situation where Ray and Barrett split the gameday reps and in practice.

But with the potential of a bigger role, I think that Shaq Barrett could take advantage of it. I was really impressed with him last year when he played in the Cleveland game last season. In my opinion, he was one of my three stars of that game. He also had a huge recovery in the Patriots game as well as flattening Tom Brady in the game as he threw the ball.

Now that he has a bit more experience and his ability to take advantage of every opportunity he gets, I think this could be a big year for him.
