Big Browns fan but I also went to the same high school as Kirk Barton.  He was legitimately a 2nd round talent after his tremendous run at Ohio State.  Yeah, there are concerns that his knee can hold up.  This knee he hurt against Penn State a couple of years ago, but this guy was a 220 pound TE in high school.  He worked  his butt off to become a 2 time 1st team big ten.  He played in 2 national title games.  He will give it everything he's got.  You guys will love him if he makes the team.  Maybe he's not quite Jimbo Covert, but he's the next best thing.  He consistently graded out amazingly every game he played in college except the last 2 bowl games.  Good luck to you guys.  You got a great player and any news is appreciated.

Thanks
