Washington Redskins third-round cornerback Kevin Barnes’ four-year contract includes a $782,500 signing bonus, according to a league source.
Barnes played at the University of Maryland, recording 100 career tackles and six interceptions along with 15 pass deflections.
Selected 80th overall, Barnes’ senior season was abbreviated by a fractured shoulder blade.
Barnes is regarded as a hard-nosed tackler, as evidenced by his big hit against Cal-Berkeley that became a YouTube sensation.
