Read Complete Story
Just a few notables, such as Bill Parcells, Brandon Marshall, Todd Haley and Scott Pioli were at day one of practice for the East-West Shrine Game, as Bowling Green State University wide receiver Freddie Barnes made several spectacular catches, and even got a mention from Chad Reuter of www.cbsports.com.
Rueter said:
"Bowling Green wide receiver Freddie Barnes was one of the stars of the day. He snatched several balls out of the air, adjusting to passes thrown high, low and wide. Toledo strong safety Barry Church found out what it would be like to cover an NFL receiver when Barnes gave him a nice head fake while running down the seam, stopping Church in his tracks and blowing by him. Though Barnes did drop one or two when allowing the ball to get too far into his chest and could be faster out of his breaks, overall he was clearly the best receiver on either squad."
Barnes finished the year with an NCAA record 155 catches. He added 1,770 receiving yards, second-best in the country and added 19 touchdown receptions, which was also tops in the nation.
