Freddie Barnes had just one catch in the first three quarters of the East/West Shrine Game this afternoon, but his three catches in the final two minutes of the game helped seal the game for the East.
Catching three straight passes from Mike Kafka, Barnes gained 29 yards during a 55-yard drive for the East that ended with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Quarless, giving the East a 13-10 lead with six seconds left in the game.
Barnes was the second option on that play, according to the East's offensive coordinator, who was interviewed by ESPN before the play.
In total, Barnes had four grabs for 40 yards.
During the ESPN2 broadcast, it was mentioned that Barnes was not invited to the NFL Combine, but the analysts said they thought Barnes would get drafted in the late rounds because of his ability to catch the ball.
Barnes almost thrilled scouts by catching a touchdown but strong defense from the West forced an incompletion.
