Cincinnati DE Connor Barwin is drawing plenty of interest from NFL clubs who are putting him through the paces in private workouts. Scout.com's Ed Thompson has the scoop on who'll be taking a close-up look at the talented defender this week.


Cincinnati DE Connor Barwin worked out for an AFC East team early last week and then for the Seattle Seahawks last Friday. This week, he'll work out for a pair of teams on consecutive days.

Scout.com has learned that the 6-foot-3, 253-pound lineman, who could switch to outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme in the NFL, is scheduled to workout for the Miami Dolphins on Monday, March 16 and the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, March 17.

Barwin earned First-Team All-Big East honors in 2008 even though it marked his debut year on the defensive side of the ball. A converted tight end, Barwin impressed scouts at both the Senior Bowl and the Combine with his athleticism and speed. He was among the top performers at the Combine.

Miami would be a good fit for Barwin, I just worry about their tendancy to constantly turn over HC's.

I can't stand the Bronco's, so that'd be a tough fit for me.

Yeah I would hate to see him go play for Shanahan. Also would hate to seen him end up a Steeler, and they are probably smart enough to reach for him.

Shanahan got canned, so it is now Josh McDaniels. But still, I hate the Broncos so hopefully he doesn't wind up there.
