Kenjon Barner

Barner isn’t the guy you want to attempt to tackle in space. You might as well give him your ankles because he’ll rob you of them. Barner continues an impressive pre-season as he attempts to scratch and claw his way to the top of the depth chart.

His final totals on the night were six carries for 41 yards, but that was highlighted by an impressive nine yard touchdown that showed he possesses an ability to shed tackles. Not only is he a threat on offense, he’s also a force to be reckoned with on special teams.

Barner can rack up big yards and give the offense good field position when he’s given a chance.

With that being said, let’s look at the players who didn’t really help their stock.
