Summary
Nick Barrett enters the league with real value as a run defender, especially in an era of lighter boxes across the NFL. Barrett put strong run-defense tape together last fall, finishing third among SEC defensive tackles in run stops. He’s not just a splash-play run defender, either. He can hold gaps and shed late to finish. There’s just not much to get excited about yet as a pass rusher.

Chargers' Nick Barrett: Snared by Chargers
The Chargers selected Barrett in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 145th overall.
Barrett doesn't have a long list of production to his name at South Carolina, but he did well in his lone season as a starter for the Gamecocks in 2025, racking up 42 tackles and 2.0 sacks. He sports above-average arm length and is pretty athletic for his size, but he's a bit raw on the pass-rush front. Barrett will provide some depth on the defensive line for the Chargers and might fit in better as a defensive end in the 3-4 scheme.
