Scouting Report: Strengths
- Effective in space and usually drops his hips to get leverage and sustain against shorter defenders.
- Consistently keeps his feet sliding while maintaining power when dealing with speed, often sending speed rushers flying past the pocket
- In the run game, Barrington explodes off the line of scrimmage and consistently gets out to the second level to do damage.
- He’s a fluid mover in pass protection, with great coordination between his upper and lower body. Barrington sets with a wide base, has the requisite core strength and plays with natural balance, capable of sitting back and handling power.
- Willing to attack and punches multiple times to finish the play. Quick to pick up edge blitz and shows no panic, easily adjusting angles and resetting his feet. Can recover and reset his anchor. Rarely late off the snap.
- Excellent quick-twitch movement off the snap in pass protection and as a run blocker.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Has good-not-great feet. Dealing with speed on the edge will likely be a problem, especially because he’s more comfortable moving forward as a run blocker than Barrington is retreating as a pass protector.
- Often simply tries to push pass rushers past the pocket. Barrington can also look a bit hesitant when it comes to recognizing and reacting to twists, stunts and blitzes up front.
- He’ll have trouble with elite quickness at the next level.
