Not bad. There was reportedly interest in him. CB from Albany.
you whipped me this time
Bigger corner - 6'2 210
ESPN had him as a safety
Yeah, all I know is they worked him out a bunch of times and really liked him.
From KFFL:
Eagles | Team worked out Barksdale
Fri, 27 Apr 2007 15:01:18 -0700
Paul Schwartz, of the New York Post, reports the Philadelphia Eagles have worked out Albany CB Rashad Barksdale several times.
I know a bit about him. I went to an Albany game earlier his year, they were playing some scrub team (how surprising.) He had a pick and a pass defensed, he seems really fast. Good size too.
QuoteALBANY'S BARKSDALE ON GIANTS' RADAR
NY Post
By PAUL SCHWARTZ
April 27, 2007 -- With all the comprehensive scouting, time and money invested in the NFL Draft, true sleepers may no longer exist. But there are undiscovered gems to be mined and the Giants may uncover one in Rashad Barksdale.
The Giants own eight selections in this weekend's NFL Draft and sometime Sunday, perhaps in the sixth or seventh round, they may take a flier on Barksdale, a cornerback from Albany who, despite a blatantly limited football resume, has suddenly caught the attention of NFL personnel.
"I feel, deep down inside, that I can do it," Barksdale said in a phone interview with The Post.
The Giants apparently are intrigued. They brought him in last week for a visit, rare treatment for someone who will either go late in the draft or maybe not at all. The Giants were one of five NFL teams on March 19 to attend Albany's Pro Day, where Barksdale became more than a novelty act by clocking in at a blazing 4.38 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
The Eagles have worked him out several times. A scout from the Bears told Barksdale he'd be a good fit for their Cover-2 defense. The 49ers and Cardinals have offered similar encouragement. This past Wednesday, the Packers checked in with a call.
"I know he's on the radar screen for quite a few teams," said agent Tony Agnone, who zeroed in on Barksdale's athleticism thanks to some inside information. Agnone's daughter, Blakely, was a lacrosse player at Albany.
No Great Dane has ever cracked an NFL lineup - one player has ever been drafted - and it would be strange and ironic if Barksdale with one year of experience emerges as the first. He was a solid prospect coming out of Hudson (N.Y.) High School but went to Hudson Valley Community College and then Albany intent on pursuing a baseball career. After hitting .277 as a fleet-footed outfielder, Barksdale realized baseball wasn't going to happen.
With one year of eligibility remaining, Barksdale last summer asked Albany football coach Bob Ford if he could try out for the team, which competes at the Division I-AA level in the Northeast Conference.
"In all honesty, I thought we'd be getting a special teams player," said Ford, entering his 34th season as Albany's head coach.
The 6-foot, 208-pound Barksdale worked out at cornerback with the third team. He quickly moved up to the second team and before the opener vaulted into the starting lineup. "I was absolutely shocked," Ford said, "at how easy the game of football came to him."
In his first game, Barksdale returned a punt 38 yards in a 17-16 victory at Lehigh. He sealed a 17-10 upset at Delaware with his second interception of the game, at the goal line in the closing minute. "As the season progressed he showed some nuance, some savoir-faire," Ford said.
Barksdale the past few years on the Albany campus saw the Giants up close during their month-long stay for training camp. More than once, he was mistaken for Tiki Barber and hounded for autographs, confusion that ended when Barksdale hopped into his Honda Civic. Barksdale said he knows he's a project that needs time. Imagine if that development took place on the same Albany grass where this improbable journey started barely nine months ago?
"I've thought about it a couple of times," Barksdale said. "I'd be back on my own practice fields, but it would definitely be different. Instead of a purple jersey, it would be a Giants jersey and helmet. That would be awesome."
Hey, Dillen, you up near Albany? It's one of the areas I'm looking at moving to.
No, other side of the state in Rochester. I was visiting someone at the time.
Ah. Still cool. I miss living up there... for some strange reason. :D
Now back to your regularly scheduled thread... Would be nice if he can make the team in some aspect, but I'm not holding out hope.
somebody with that speed can always play special teams
I actually like a pick like this one. The guy is obviously raw but has the kind of measurables that could make him a good prospect in the nFL. With his size and the fact that he played corner for only one year, he could be moved to safety and probably be taught to cover that back third of the field with relative ease.
At least I hope.
I wouldnt be surprised if he makes the team. They only have 4 CBs on the roster as of now (if you want to count Gaddis as a safety) and he has a lot of potential. Practice squad at least, but I'd prefer to have him on the 53. It would have really helped if they dealt Moats, Lewis, McDougle, Dhani, etc.
of those 4 you listed, i will be very surprised if at least 2 of them aren't cut before the season starts
Rashad is related to Avon Barksdale.

I'm sure Dhani's all but cut at this point. Likely McDougle too. I think Lewis might be the only one from that list with a better than 50% chance to make the roster.

Cut them now, they don't deserve an offseason roster spot. That means one more UDFA they can bring in to camp.
Moats is as good as gone too but he at least has some trade value. Even if we can only get a 7th from the Colts for him, it's something.
No draft picks today....theyre into the comps now.
Have to be an '08 pick.

Punt/Kick returner!
One of the WIP announcers was saying this guy was a baseball player and only played 1 year of College football. He had a PC and said his first passion is baseball but he chose football cause he likes being apart of a team. Said he had no idea he'd be drafted until teams started working him out and like what the saw. 6th rounders are project picks but this one is even moreso than usual.
i never like hearing that football isn't someone's first passion
C'mon... it worked out for Drew Henson!
And TO.
I'm a Patriots fan, but I wanted to congratulate you guys on getting Rashad Barksdale. He's a guy I've met a couple times; I'm an Albany native, and he is a friend of one of my best friends who attends UAlbany. In fact, my friend happened to play basketball with Rashad only a couple hours or so after he was drafted. He said he went out and bought a Lexus when he first found out, but other than that was still the same, great guy.
My friend also told me he's really looking forward to being an Eagle and also said he's one of the best athletes he's ever seen (my friend has run track with some Olympic-class athletes, too, so take that as an endorsement), and looked really good on the football field despite only starting to play this year. Another of my buddies plays football at UA and said he was the best player on the team after one year of football. Here's hoping he does well for you guys.

Barksdale, Coleman, Hobbs hoping to hear from NFL teams during draft
By MARK SINGELAIS, Staff writer
First published: Friday, April 20, 2007
ALBANY -- Hudson native Rashad Barksdale revived his football career with a nervous phone call to the University at Albany coaching staff last August.
Barksdale is hoping to receive a call during the NFL draft next weekend, though he insisted he'll be just as happy to sign as an undrafted free agent.
Barksdale is projected as a possible late choice in the seven-round draft April 28-29, an amazing development for someone who played one year of college football.
Barksdale, a cornerback, was an outfielder on the UAlbany baseball team before trying out for football last summer.
"It's been really nice," Barksdale said. "I was fortunate to be blessed with talent and made the best of my abilities to come out and play football. If you'd have asked me four years ago where I'd be, I would have said playing baseball."
Three UAlbany football players -- Barksdale, defensive end Andre Coleman and offensive lineman Jacob Hobbs of Schenectady -- are attracting interest from NFL scouts in advance of the draft.
Barksdale said he has been told he has a "slight chance" of being taken in the sixth or seventh round. He visited the New York Giants and met with coach Tom Coughlin on Wednesday and will receive a visit from a Philadelphia Eagles scout on Monday.
Barksdale is represented by agent Tony Agnone, who also works for Giants star defensive end Michael Strahan.
"I'm not really worried about (being drafted) because I just want to get into a (training) camp," Barksdale said. "I'll be able to get into a camp, and when that happens, it's up to me to make the best out of it."
UAlbany offensive coordinator Peter Rossomando said the Arizona Cardinals have graded Barksdale as talented enough to be chosen on the first day of the draft, which includes the first through third rounds. That doesn't mean Arizona would take Barksdale that early, if the Cardinals feel no one else would draft him at that point.
Barksdale, who's listed at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, tantalized scouts by running the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds :o at UAlbany's pro day last month, attended by scouts from the Giants, Eagles, San Francisco, Green Bay and Chicago.
"I only played one year, and I just think I have so much more I can offer down the road," he said.
That road began last summer, when Barksdale resumed his football career with a phone call to the UAlbany coaches that made him feel "like a little kid wanting to call some girl." But he was welcomed with open arms by UAlbany coach Bob Ford, who had seen Barksdale play at Hudson High.
ummmm....look test....check
this cat is my new favorite player...who on the barksdale bandwagon with me!?!?!?!

I'm callin' shotgun. He played JuCo ball where my dad did (Hudson Valley) back in the day.
I was talking about Barksdale with a buddy of mine who's a Giants fan. This kid may really be something good. He thought I was bullshteinting until I showed him the article from the NY Post. I'll make sure he sees this one too.
Anyone that removes the likelihood of Dustin Fox making the team is OK in my book.
Is it him or Gaddis that returns punts... or both?
I'm callin' shotgun

plenty of seats left...but get on now...they wont be available for long...and me and feva arent taking you johnny come latelys when this cat blows up in training camp
Get a room.
I don't know... a threesome with IGY and Feva is all too much blackness for me to handle.
Barksdale will make the team, so I'm on the bandwagon.... sure.
When he got drafted I went to the Scouts, Inc. page on ESPN.com and there was nothing about him there. Not even the customary "30" rating they give anyone who played college football and declared for the draft.
That scared me a little, especially considering he was a sixth round draft pick.
Whatever, though. If Hank Baskett can make the Eagles and contribute two sensational 80 yard-plus touchdowns, why can't this baseball player become this year's cinderfella story?
Rashad Barksdale Hysteria!

The question is this... could Barksdale cover Baskett like a blanket?
More importantly, who would win a fight between the two of them?
(Actually, that's a trick question. The answer is Chuck Norris.)

He's going to play cornerback, and Gaddis is going to play safety.

Damn, I love it here.
I'm on it too.
I like big CBs - which is why I was a Bobby Taylor fan (even tho he tackled like a bitch).
I hope this guy can be what we hoped Matt Ware would be - a guy with some size to neutralize Burress and guys like that.

That's it. Rashad's gonna straight up wreck your shtein, son.
I have to come your board and tell my story about Rashard. He is just a awesome athlete. He went to Hudson High School in New York nasty at baseball actually hit a bomb off me. He is actually the fastest guy i have ever seen he hit a line drive sraight to the center fielder and was standing on 2nd before the center fielder fielded it. He went to Ualbany to play baseball then his senior season decides to throw the pads on. The guy has tons of heart and the perfect word RAW. He also lead the region in rushing yards when he played for hudson high school. I wish the Broncos drafted him. Good luck this season Eagle Fans.
I've heard Rashad's so fast... he can hit the lightswitch, impregnate 3 women, and shotgun a Colt 45 before the lights actually go on.
Baseball sucks.

igy, unless they've said something that I missed I doubt they're planning to play him at safety. They've already got Dawkins, Gaddis, Considine and Mikell. I doubt they want to go with 5 players at safety and only 4 at corner.
That said, I like him. Like I posted earlier on the first page (or so) he seems pretty good. He really stood out to me when I saw him play. I'm actually pretty surprised I remember a single player from an Albany game that I went to before November.

Did I ever tell you about the time Rashad Barksdale showed up at my daughter's wedding? You know my daughter, she's a beautiful girl. Well, he's standing right between me and my daughter at the ceremony. He's got no right to be there, but he's drunk and he's Barksdale! Well, long story short: the priest accidentally marries me and Barksdale! We spend the weekend in the Poconos - he loves me like I've never been loved before!
GF, that was a touching story. That's some The View material right there. Get with MDS asap and he'll book you on the show.
And yes, I think IGY isn't feeling well. Positive + correct quote button usage = something wrong
Billy Bob, just because I'm a TV Nerd doesn't mean I know the guest booking people on The View.
That's right. I forgot your girl Star Jones rolled out so you lost your connection there
What can I say, I like big black chicks.

Rashad Barksdale once gave me a videotape of him having sex with my wife, and it was the most beautiful damn thing I ever saw!
Count me in on the bandwagon.
Barksdale is an immediate upgrade over the other camp bodies. :yay

Ryan Howard would could beat the shtein out of Barksdale, then go yard....off a LEFTY!
I have inside information from Chris Steuber that the Birds only brought him in to secure him for his future of playing third base for the Phils.

Here are the 10 Day Two moves I liked the most:
3. The Eagles picking this year's Marques Colston in Round Six. Ok, so Rashad Barksdale (201st pick) might not titilate quite as much as Colston, who played offense, but the cornerback from Albany is one of the best athletes in the draft and could turn out to be one of the best roundabout stories we have heard in some time. Barksdale is a four-year baseball player whom Nolan said "looks like Willie Mays catching the ball in center field." And with Brian Dawkins, Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown in tow, there's no rush to develop, and he has great teachers in front of him.
IGY, who's review was that?

QuoteBarksdale: I Hate The Giants
It isn't common to see a guy who played only one year of college football, at a Division I-AA school for that matter, get drafted in the NFL. However, Rashad Barksdale is not only a freak of an athlete (4.43 40-yard dash) and one of the biggest corners on the Eagles (almost 6-feet, 208 pounds), he picks up the game of football like a pro.
A baseball player his first three years of college, the rookie from Albany jumped from the diamond to the gridiron only for his senior season, where he shocked everyone by getting 37 tackles, breaking up three passes and grabbing a team-high three interceptions.
"I don't think I need anything set up special for me, football just comes so natural to me," Barksdale said. "I feel so much more comfortable playing football, even after one year of it. ?I feel like I could do anything a four-year guy from a big-time school could do. I don't find myself any different from they are."
Still, his adjustment to the new sport at the professional level wasn't helped from the get-go. While he has it now, the team had a wrong address, and so his playbook got lost in the mail.
Just like Texas native Kevin Kolb, Barksdale won't please any fans by letting them know he grew up rooting for the Cowboys, but he certainly has a dislike for another NFC East rival.
"I'm a big fan of Brian Dawkins," he said. "I've been waiting for a long, long time for him to knock out Jeremy Shockey. I'm from New York, but I hate the Giants, and I don't really like Shockey at all."

He said today that he hates the Giants and "can't stand Shockey at all"
I officially love this man and everything he stands for.
Barksdale butta joints for errrrbody!!
in the beginning barksdale created the heaven and the earth...and the earth was without form....and void....and darkness was upon the face of the deep...and the spirit of barksdale moved upon the face of the waters....and barksdale said......
let there be light...
and
there was light!!!
I hate all of you.
He's no Hank Baskett.
Well who is?
Hank Baskett is, presumably.
Barksdale be trappin
get the farg off this thread stylishly dressed young man
QuoteCornerback Rashad Barksdale is raw and he needs work, but I saw a play on Sunday that demonstrated why the Eagles like him: Barksdale ran with Hank Baskett down the field on a post route and leaped up and broke up a pass against the leaping Baskett. Very nice.
Barksdale > Baskett
Barksdale projects to probably be the best 6th round pick the Eagles had during Andy Reid's tenure. He has all the tangibles in terms of athleticism and in that video interview he seems to have great confidence and demeanor considering he's only been playing football for a year. He should be a fun player to watch and root for.

Well, I did say "projects" meaning he has very good value for a 6th round pick as evidenced by the characteristics that are tangible -- like how fast he can run the 40, his size, his seeming ability to pick up on the nuances of football relatively quickly, etc.
He could bust. That is definitely a possibility. A lot of great athletes just don't perform well in the NFL. But, considering he was drafted in the 6th round, he is at a "need" position, and considering all the other players that were available at that pick, this was a very good pick-up for the Eagles in terms of value.
I don't expect much from him his first season. If he is a solid special teams performer on kick-offs and maybe a gunner on punts then I think that would be a very productive year giving his current experience playing football. If he actually gets on the field for a considerable amount of time in Nickel/Dime situations, and performs well, then that would be icing on the cake for me.
he has 3 career INTs. super bowl.
...in one year.
And two of them were in one game11111111111111111111111!!!1111111111!!
In other words, in 99.880881477% of the days prior to the draft, he wasn't intercepting passes.
(Actual calculation.)

QuoteCornerback Rashad Barksdale is the fourth Eagles draft pick to sign his rookie contract. On Wednesday, the former Albany product signed a four-year deal to join linebacker Stewart Bradley, running back Tony Hunt and safety C.J. Gaddis to sign.
(http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/uploads/photos/perm/main/JEBAKLMANPAI/070523_barksdale357.jpg)
It's on now...
and it begins.....
He's just begging for a yellow flag to be thrown in his direction.
QuoteTo celebrate his newfound riches, Barksdale is not going to fritter away his money on trivial items. Instead, he's going to pay off his student loans. That's something you rarely hear of.
"I'm going to get that over with so it doesn't hurt my credit," said Barksdale after rookie camp practice Wednesday. "I'm going to get that out of the way. It's been four years of student loans and now that I am very fortunate to have the money to just pay it off instead of other college guys, who come out of school and they have so much stress just thinking about paying it off."
Seriously, these sentiments have me scrambling for the bandwagon.
That's great. :-D :yay
Andy does a good job of finding (seemingly) good character guys. Let's hope this one can play.
If not he can go across the street and play for the other team. Maybe replace Bourn.

in the train wreck that was last night guess who was the best player on the field?
Brent Celek
wrong
god barksdale
they clearly love him too...he played more than anyone and played real well
get on the wagon now we are not accepting anymore applicants
i did notice that he had a few nice plays. although the one pas break up he had in the end zone could have been an INT if he would have turned around. regardless, he was in perfect position.
it also could've been pass interference
i'm on the wagon... painfully recanting my previous statements.

Special teams coordinator Rory Segrest said Correll Buckhalter, Greg Lewis, J.J. Outlaw and Rashad Barksdale will get looks as returners
Is Bloom hurt or is this a non-news item?
I thought Bloom looked good the other night. Maybe they're looking for backups?
Still laughing at Buck returning kicks, though. :-D
seems to me they are concentrating bloom more on being the punt returner
No, they only reason they mention it was because Moats got hurt. He was slotted to be the backup to Mr. Dreamy.
Also, lots of J.J quotes on Barksdale beingmuch improved. Apparently J.J. was harder on him this camp that anyone else, and J.J. says the kid has responded.

Hott. It's just that the Rock is more known for being the first subway stop rather than some random train stop. If you are talking about trains, you talk about 30th Street or Market East or something.

Nate Ilaoa sucks major o-ring either way.
jesus gawd ive never loved dio more than i do know

Just chimin' in from vacation to give a little "toot, toot" from the Barksdale bandwagon.
He looked pretty damn Lito-esque returning that INT...
Rollin' along, bitches... rollin' along.
......and just keep on rollin' on.
Barksdale was the first pick in my fantasy draft.
That didn't take long: Barksdale highlight film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSw8yOUVbac)
great find sd...still cant get over how buttery smooth he looked returning that pick
After the "Good Luck Rashad" i was expecting to see "Luv IGY"
"one love, IGY"
Buttery smooth. Thats a good one. One can only hope he's as good as all you knob slobberers think.

If only he had saw that cutback at the end of his run. Would've been six.
Matter of fact, he probably did see it... he probably just didn't want to hit 'em with too much right off the bat.
IGY drafted Barksdale with the 123rd pick (3rd pick of round 13) in the CFFFL AFC last night.
Wow. Two clips of him tackling someone. One clip of him running into a dude after the play was over. And lots of shots of his tiny little baby teeth. That's scraping bottom, even for youtube/Barksdale slobberers.
I needs more still shots of him standing around in camp.
