"Not just was Barnett an unstoppable threat, with at least 10 sacks during every single season in orange, but he also did superb work against Tennessee's toughest opponents. In his freshman year, he benefited significantly of Curt Maggitt's presence. However, Barnett was the main focus of offensive lines that were battling each other the past two seasons and that did not slow him down in any way." -- Learn More on Rocky Top Talk

His ability to rush passes have earned him the status of a first-rounder however there are many questions he'll need to be able to answer when he becomes a professional. Barnett's game is based on his athleticism, however his performance at the Madden NFL 24 Combine suggests that he's likely to struggle against an elite group of offensive linemen when he becomes professional leagues. Madden NFL 24 Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah may have said the right thing when it comes about Barnett's potential.

"(Barnett) doesn't have the elite burst, that energy that you'd like in an edge-rusher," Barnett said on the Move the Sticks podcast. "I was with Terrell Suggs for a while with the Ravens and another player who didn't really test well. However, he was fast enough to get on the football field. I'm sure you'll see some similar things in Barnett. I don't believe he's at the Suggs level however, I believe Barnett has a good chance to become a double-digit sack player at the next level."

One positive aspect is his performance in the face of SEC opponents. Barnett was known for beginning slow in Tennessee however, he usually reserved his best performances for crucial conference matches -- and also the top offensive teams that the Volunteers faced. Although even an Alabama team is a vast away from a Madden NFL 24 version but it's still a good sign.

What will Barnett have to do in order to succeed in the Eagles?

He'll need to improve his speed-rush techniques while adding some new tricks to be able to compete with Madden NFL 24 offensive linemen. The Madden 24 Nation's Stephen White points out that an improved inside movewhether it's punching tackles in the back, working through the gap, or creating an angle to redirect his speed towards the pocket after taking his first 2 steps could create a nightmare for blocking opponents.

At the moment the smart tackles are able to cheat because his primary strategy is to slash the edge. A slap on a similarly strong inside rush could take the advantage -- and increase his speed rush while doing it.
