Barrington didn't do the 3 coner at the combine... probably realized his 40 time sucked big time and it wasn't smart to do even further damage with the 3 cone.
It just amazes me the level of defense provided to Barrington because he's a Packer. Anyone who follows the NFL closely knows that 4.91 is a horrific 40 time for a LB. Datone, who came out the same year, ran a 4.80 at 283lbs. Sharrif Floyd ran 4.92 at 297lbs.
For a LB to run 4.91... Wow, just wow. B-R-U-T-A-L. Make any excuse you'd like. The 40 time is one of the most influential tools in the NFL draft.
Chris Borland, noted for his total lack of athleticism, ran a 4.83, which was HORRIBLE. Somehow, Barrington is being defended for running 4.91? He lasted until the 7th for a reason and I guarantee 4.91 was chief among them.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
