Barron's path to the NFL is unusual, having been a wideout and a defensive back before settling in at linebacker for his final college season, where the production (93 tackles) jumped immediately. Dallas clearly liked the traits enough to pay him like a priority free agent, and he has stuck around the linebacker rotation as a developmental piece.
Strengths: Rare multi-position background gives him range and coverage instincts that pure inside linebackers often lack.
Weaknesses: Only one full season at the position means his run-fitting and point-of-attack technique are still raw for the NFL level.
