DE Derek Barnett
For all the discussion about his penchant for undisciplined play and penalties, Barnett is better than his statistics suggest and he’ll be a main cog in the Eagles retooled defense.
Barnett will only be turning 24 next. month and he’s still learning the intricacies of the game while developing his own style of play. Analyst and pundits talk about the 6.5 sacks last season and the 14 total since he was drafted in 2017. You can’t account for his motor or the fact that Barnett was tied for 16th in the NFL with 22 quarterback hits despite missing two games. When healthy he gets to the quarterback.
