[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-2]01/21/09 - 2009 Senior Bowl: Another successful Football Championship Subdivision player, Cal Poly wide receiver Ramses Barden, looks like he belongs on the field among more heralded players at his position. Physically, he dwarfs most receivers and cornerbacks at 6-foot-6, 228 pounds, and his production in football's second division (122 catches for 2,724 yards -- a 21.9-yard average -- and 36 touchdowns) the past two seasons was phenomenal. But on the field, Barden's long legs make him look slightly awkward and he has a hard time separating from better cornerbacks down the sideline. However, his hands have been solid and his feet are not slow; he can come out of his route relatively quickly. - Chad Reuter, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=-2][SIZE=-2][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]That's from nfldraftscout. He's projecting in the 4th right now however after the combine I think that will change. [/FONT][/SIZE]

It was on the NFL Network. When recapping the week, Mayock (and I believe Charles Davis also) listed Barden as one of the disappointments. With his production and size he was one of the players they were really wanting to get a look at. They hoped to see a lot more--he simply couldn't separate. Separation was a much bigger issue (for them) than indicated above. Nor was it limited to deep or sideline routes. They thought he was slow getting into and out of his cuts on other routes.
For those that don't get the NFL Network, there were two shows for each day of practice. One lasted for an hour and a half. It showed players doing both individual and team drills. You actually got to see the players, what they looked like, and how they compared and competed with each other.
The other show was for half an hour, and was more of a recap.
