Connor Barwin
Connor Alfred Barwin (born October 15, 1986) is an American professional football executive and former player who is the head of football development and strategy for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He played in the NFL as a linebacker. Barwin played college football for the Cincinnati Bearcats, and was selected by the Houston Texans in the second round of the 2009 NFL draft. He also played for the Eagles, Los Angeles Rams, and New York Giants.
Barwin is the youngest of four sons of Thomas Barwin and Margaret Bailey and was born in Hazel Park, Michigan. His favorite team growing up were the Detroit Lions, with his favorite player being running back Barry Sanders.
Barwin was born deaf, which was not confirmed until he was two years old. While his right ear was curable with surgery and tubes, treatment of his left ear was complicated by a benign tumor near the ossicles. As an adult, he has complete hearing in his right ear but only "10–15 percent" hearing in his left ear.
Barwin attended the University of Detroit Jesuit High School. As a senior, he was an All-state selection and earned All-League, All-Catholic, and All-District honors. He was also an All-League selection in basketball as a junior and All-Catholic as a senior.
Barwin attended and played college football at the University of Cincinnati, where he was a history major. As a freshman in 2005, Barwin played in all 11 games as a backup tight end, finishing with eight receptions for 144 yards and one touchdown. The starting tight end during Barwin's freshman and sophomore seasons was Brent Celek.
In early January, after injuries had decimated the Cincinnati basketball team, he joined the team, playing in 18 games as a backup forward and averaging 9.9 minutes per game. That season, he tallied highs of nine rebounds against South Carolina and six points against Pittsburgh.
As a sophomore in 2006, Barwin played in all 13 Bearcats football games as a regular on special teams and as a backup tight end. He totaled 13 receptions for 148 yards and two touchdowns. He also played in 22 games for the basketball team, with highs of five rebounds vs. DePaul and four points each against Providence and Villanova. As a junior in 2007, Barwin played special teams, as well as a starting tight end, playing in 12 games. He caught 31 passes for 399 yards and two touchdowns.
In 2008, Barwin was moved to defensive end after head coach, Brian Kelly, felt he had more potential at that position in the NFL. He finished the season with 53 tackles, and a Big East and team-leading 12 sacks. He also had 20 quarterback pressures, eight pass deflections, three fumble recoveries, and three blocked kicks. His play helped him earn First-team All-Big East honors and honorable mention All-America, as well as the Claude Rost Award, given to the team's Most Valuable Player.
