Barrett’s professional football career will continue after The Spring League announced on Monday afternoon that he’s one of 12 quarterbacks participating in its upcoming season. The #TSL2020 Alphas QBs! pic.twitter.com/PvnomdW4d5 — The Spring League (@TheSpringLeague) October 12, 2020 Barrett – who finished his college career (2013-17) with a school-record 38 wins, 9,434 passing yards, 3,263 rushing yards and 147 total touchdowns – signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He also spent time with the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers, but has yet to see NFL action beyond the preseason. Barrett is the only former Buckeye playing in the league, but he will be joined by former Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson, whose Blues take on Barrett’s Alphas in the first game of the season. The Spring League is a development football league that started in 2017 and typically takes place between March and April, holding practices and games in front of NFL scouts. The season was postponed amid the coronavirus pandemic and will now be played in a bubble at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The four-week regular season will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 27, and conclude on Wednesday, Nov. 18. Games will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1, including the championship game on Monday, Nov. 23. As for the quality of Barrett’s competition, the league “hoping that the reduction in NFL rosters, the cancellation of the CFL and the number of college players who opted out will add quality talent this fall,” Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand said. “It plans to return for a spring season in 2021.” For four free issues of the biweekly print edition of Buckeye Sports Bulletin, sign up at the link below.

  • Dalton Risner Dishes on Broncos Visit, John Elway, Vic Fangio and Why It Would Be “Awesome” to Work with Mike Munchak by Sean Keeler Denver Post April 9, 2019
    Dalton Risner dishes on Broncos visit, John Elway, Vic Fangio and why it would be “awesome” to work with Mike Munchak By Sean Keeler Denver Post April 9, 2019 Mike Munchak was jazzed enough with the game tape. But when Dalton Risner, unprompted, told him what a pleasure it was to talk shop with the No. 8 pick in the 1982 NFL draft, the Broncos’ new offensive line coach knew right away that this was a kid who didn’t skimp on his homework. “I think he was definitely impressed,” Risner, the Wiggins native and former All-American offensive lineman at Kansas State told The Post of his recent visit to Dove Valley. “He didn’t say anything. But he gave me a smile. “With the Broncos staff, I didn’t just say, ‘I’m a fan.’ I could tell you a fact about every one of those coaches. I hope they were impressed with what I did. I think it went great.” The 6-foot-5, 312-pound Risner, who spent Monday meeting with Washington Redskins officials, gushed about his recent tour and interview at the Broncos’ headquarters, and how stoked he was to get an up close look at the team he grew up rooting for on the plains of Morgan County. “Just for me to be able to be at the Broncos’ facility, a team that I watched growing up — I walked by Joe Flacco and the guys in the locker room,” Risner recalled. “And to sit down and talk to (general manager) Mr. (John) Elway and to talk with Coach Munchak and Coach (Vic) Fangio, that whole staff, it was just a blessing.
