He went on to play football at the University of Alabama, achieving what was perhaps the highlight of his career when he led the Crimson Tides to a national championship by beating the Miami Hurricanes.

After college, Barker managed to skirt around the spotlight, always close to the action but rarely in it.

His NFL career kicked off when he was selected in the 1995 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers.

Even though he was drafted, he didn’t officially make the team.

Twice more, Barker found himself on NFL rosters (for the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers), but he never got time on the field.

Barker played 3 seasons for the Canadian Football League as a Toronto Argonaut before returning to the states.
