Form the University of Louisville, Gary Barnidge was drafted by the Carolina Panthers where the Tight End was mostly used in Special Teams for the five seasons he was there, with the exception where a broken ankle kept him out for the year.  When he signed with the Cleveland Browns in 2013 he was used in the same role but had an unexpected breakout in 2015 where he caught 79 passes for 1,043 Yards and nine Touchdowns and would make the Pro Bowl.  He would have one more season in the NFL, which was a good one with 612 Receiving Yards.
