Patriots Target Versatile Linebacker Lander Barton
Description
The New England Patriots are eyeing Utahs Lander Barton, a versatile linebacker and former tight end, for their 2023 NFL draft. Barton, the younger brother of Tennessee Titans linebacker Cody Barton, showcased impressive athleticism last season with 55 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks. His pro day numbers, including a 4.79 40-yard dash and 4.40 shuttle, highlight his speed and quickness. However, he needs to improve his run defense. Projected as a fifth or sixth-round pick, Barton could provide depth and contribute on special teams and potentially offense, bolstering the Patriots linebacker group.
