. . Krys Barnes. . player. 836.

Say what you want to say about former Eagles head coach Chip Kelly. He does have a pretty good eye for talent. After all, he did draft Lane Johnson and Zach Ertz.

There are several former UCLA Bruins that will turn some heads with 2020’s version of the NFL Draft approaching. Expect there to be a few NFL scouts at their Pro Day on March 24th. Expect Krys Barnes to get a few looks from anyone looking to add depth at the linebacker position.

In 2019, he outplayed some of the guys currently on the Eagles roster, albeit against competition at the collegiate level with 72 tackles, four sacks, an interception, and a forced fumble.

He isn’t the owner of a name that’s been getting a ton of mention lately, but he could add value to any team looking for an inside linebacker prospect in Round 3 or later considering the theory that he’ll still be on the board at that time.
