veteran Spider DB with special-teams bite
Rodney Barnes was listed as a 6-foot-1, 205-pound sophomore defensive back for Richmond and, in the 2012 season, played in 10 games with six tackles and two blocked punts[1]. His calling card was versatility and disruption—those blocked punts hint at a twitchy, aggressive defender who can create hidden-yardage plays, not just make routine stops[1]. If a roster needs a DB who brings energy, special-teams value, and a nose for momentum-swinging moments, Barnes fits the “do-a-little-of-everything” mold.
