Luq Barcoo Named One Of Best Practice Squad Players In NFL

While Pittsburgh Steelers CB Luq Barcoo has yet to play a game for the team this year, he’s still getting some attention in the media. CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso named Barcoo the seventh-best player currently on an NFL practice squad in his latest practice squad power rankings.

“I fell in love with Barcoo’s film watching him intercept nine passes (!) in 2019 at San Diego State. And while that probably was somewhat of an outlier season, it spoke to Barcoo’s innate ball-hawking talent. He too has beaten the odds — undrafted in the COVID year of 2020 but has been on six teams in four seasons and even spent the early stages of 2023 in the XFL with the San Antonio franchise.
