He's just now 21 years old. He's had a few years to perfect his skills without getting beat up, so if he can put on some good muscle, he'll be ready to be productive for a year before heading to the NFL.

What makes you think Barry is going to play in the NFL?  Not to pour cold water, but he is at this point a clear third option in the run game after McCaffrey and Love, and arguably fifth after Wright and Hogan.  His statistics this season are inflated by two 65 yard TD runs (one against OSU and one against UA) that were...blocked for 65 yard TD runs, if you know what I mean.  He didn't record a carry against WSU, UO or ND and, most tellingly to me, Love has been getting carries between the tackles the second half of the season to spell McCaffrey, not Barry.  Barry has been a great teammate and I have so much respect for the challenges he must face playing not just the same sport, but the same position, as his all-time great (maybe best ever) father, but the athleticism gap between Barry and McCaffrey/Love is noticeable, to put it mildly.  Barry doesn't have the size, speed or elusiveness to get on the field for Stanford (two carries in the last four weeks; eight in the last six weeks), and I don't think that leaves him in the conversation for a pro career.
