Barner Might Be…

[LeveeBreak]

The best hawk TE in history in a few years.

Carlson, Miller, Fauria, Stevens, Tice…all good, respectable TE’s (sans Stevens)…

I think AJ has a great shot of next level play.

Link does a good job covering his background and growth. Glad we got this kid.

Another full year in the system with Darnold should certainly help.

An absolute STEAL as a 4th round pick.

Who's Barnes?

Who's Barnes?

He's like the head farmer of the BarnesYard, silly.

 

[Somos doces]

Who the heck are Barnes and Steven's?

 

[Atradees]

AJ Barner. Spell checker I'm sure i can't remember such an efficient TE. He catches everything. He owns the Barn House.

 

[Mike D in 332]

Love me some AJ! This dude will spend the whole game crushing his blocking assignments as a ruse to fool the defense for those moments when he sets the block, slips it and makes a big play. Love the effort, efficiency and execution!!!!

 

[Bobblehead]

Just call him Barnyard... It's what Kupp calls him

 

[slateman77]

Barnyard can certainly ball out..!!
Great pick..!!

 

[LeveeBreak]

Yep, fixed title. A bit 420 when I created the thread.

Jimmy Graham

 

[Bobblehead]

Yep, 12:26 point.

and.. Love the barnyard stomp.

It can be argued, that we have never had a very good TE. So becoming the best just means being consistent and above average. Graham was a big disappointment here. Miller could block, but he didn’t scare anyone. Stephen’s dropped so many open balls, nothing he did negated it. Tice? No one outside of Seattle even knows he played in the nfl.

It’s about time we finally got a legit TE

I'm thinking when Arroyo gets up to speed the two of them could do a lot of chain moving that needs help from the safeties to stop them. Cue the JSN deeper ball and/or Rawspeed for the bell ringer.

The Mike Tice story is inspirational.

From undrafted rookie to head coach.

Certainly at the top of the list of Seahawk blocking tight ends that set the example.

An absolute STEAL as a 4th round pick.

I remember content creators saying it was too high. That a blocking TE could've been had in the 6th. IMO, his spot in the draft was justified, and I thought that at the time, too. After seeing his tape, he was the TE I really wanted, and I had him in multiple mock drafts I posted here. You can imagine how hyped I was when they picked him.

 

[AROS]

Barner is precisely the kind of player you want on your team. Tough, relentless, the right amount of confidence and attitude. Dude is a stud and he LOVES being a Seahawk.

 

[AROS]

I could say the same thing about Drake Thomas.

I could say the same thing about Drake Thomas.

How can you not love the Drake?!
