The 25 greatest Louisville Football players of the past decade
By Derek Snyder
Years played: 2004-2007
Drafted: Barnidge was the sixth overall selection in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers.
Stats: Gary Barnidge is currently ranked 20th on the Cardinals’ all-time receiving list, however he is currently ballin’ in the NFL right now. He is coming off his best season as a professional football player, where he went for over 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns.
After spending a good amount of time in the NFL, Barnidge wasn’t much of a contributor until he was signed by the Browns. It’s actually kind of funny if you think about it. Many football players that go to the Browns end up with horrible careers. Where actually, it was Cleveland that saved Barnidge’s NFL career.
