Home Sweet Home: Barmore Excited To Play in Front of Home Town... But Acknowledges It's Just Business

The New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles just finished their final joint training camp practice yesterday before their preseason week two matchup on Thursday. Following Tuesday's practice, members of the media assembled to ask questions to Christian Barmore.

Barmore grew up in Northern Philadelphia, which makes Thursday’s road preseason game against the Eagles a homecoming for him. He attended Abraham Lincoln High School his freshman year before transferring to Saints John Neumann and Maria Goretti Catholic High School. The 22-year-old defensive tackle was asked if it gave him a little added energy to practice in front of his hometown.
