Deion Barnes: Jets UDFA
The Penn State pass rusher fell in the draft due to a lack of consistency. When he is on his game, he is a violent pass rusher with an uncanny ability to get to the quarterback. When is game is off, he’s a total non factor.
Deion Barnes looked nice rushing the passer last week #Jets

Each snap of this preseason is meaningful to a guy like Barnes to who needs to prove himself in order to make the 53 man roster next month. The linebacker needs to beat out guys like Trevor Reilly and Davon Walls to secure his place on the Jets roster.
