It was an undrafted free agent signing that flew well under the radar of even most draft analysts. Sy Barnett, a wide receiver from Davenport, inked a deal with the New Orleans Saints after the conclusion of last week’s 2023 NFL draft.
Barnett was a complete unknown name for most draft enthusiasts. Heck, many had no idea where Davenport University was located or that the school was known as the Panthers. I live about 20 minutes from Grand Rapids, Michigan, where Davenport is located and I was only somewhat familiar with Barnett and his game. We don’t have a single picture of Davenport football in our vast database.
