Reminds Us Of

Tremaine Edmunds
Tremaine Edmunds
EDGE / 6-4.5 / 253
Virginia TechVirginia Tech · HS Class of 2015
Buffalo2018 Draft · Rnd 1 · Pick 16

Tremaine Edmunds and Lander Barton were both 6-foot-4.5, 220 pound linebackers who doubled as tight ends on offense at the high school level. Like Edmunds, Barton is also a basketball player, averaging 19 points per game as junior. Both also have siblings in the NFL. Barton’s fluidity in space and skill in coverage is unique for his size. The skill set points to a future as a big off-ball linebacker in college and perhaps the NFL.
