Don Barclay will never likely be voted to a pro-bowl team, but I must admire his will to succeed . He made his way onto GB's roster as an undrafted free agent in 2012. He must have impressed the coaches to make his 1st GB roster. In his 3rd season, he started 14 games.
Yes, he did injure his knee, but has battled back from it. If he makes the 2017 roster, he will enter his 6th season and be under age 30 too.
I don't see Barclay as a starter, but he has demonstrated that he has the versatility to fill in at the G or T positions without worrying the coaches weather he knows the system. If another player can push him to the bench in training camp , then GB reaps the benefit.
I trust Coach McCarthy and his Staff to pick the best players from those that they are supplied with.
