OverviewBarrett is a huge 6-3 safety for the Sun Devils. He earned Honorable Mention All Pac-10 in 2006 and was named the 5th best senior safety by draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. Josh combines great size, athleticism, and smarts. In addition to Honorable Mention Pac-10, he was named to the all Academic Pac-10 team. He is now a graduate student at ASU.
StrengthsJosh has incredible size for a safety, at 6-3 231 pounds. His linebacker size enables him to square up on defenders and knock on the ground. He also has great speed, perhaps the Sun Devils's fastest player despite weighing over 230 pounds. Plays with incredible tenacity and is extremely durable. Ran very well at the combine, with an extremely impressive 4.33 40 time.
WeaknessesEven with incredible speed for a safety, he still occasionally gets beat in coverage. Also, does not have the best hands, with only 5 career interceptions.
ProjectionJosh is a solid safety, but a lot of his stock will hinge on his workouts. He projects in the middle rounds and worst and might even be able to sneak up into the 3rd with good workouts.
