AUBURN, Ala. - As the 2016 NFL Draft reached its later rounds, the promising phone calls Peyton Barber received did not align with what played out on his TV screen.
"I had been getting calls in the fifth and sixth rounds, saying, 'We're going to try to pick you up in this round,' or 'We're going to try to pick you up on this pick,'" said Barber, two years later.
Plenty of calls, but THE call never came.
"I really started panicking at that point," Barber said.
