Sam’s Film Room: How Barkevious Mingo fits in the Seattle Seahawks’ defense

Coming out of LSU in the 2013 NFL Draft, Barkevious Mingo was seen as the next DeMarcus Ware-type of pass rusher. He had size standing at 6’5”, length with 33-3/4 inch arms, and he had a quick first step that helped him run a 4.58 second 40-yard dash. However, he was a raw prospect and was seen by many as a boom-or-bust prospect.

Since he entered the NFL, Mingo is now joining his fourth team after getting drafted 6th overall. He played with the Cleveland Browns from 2013 to 2015, the New England Patriots in 2016, the Indianapolis Colts in 2017, and now he recently signed a two-year contract worth up to $10.
