2025 Fantasy Outlook
Barron was the Broncos' first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, solidifying an already strong Denver secondary. The Texas product won the Jim Thorpe Award in 2024, given to the best defensive back in the country. With a mix of impressive coverage instincts and solid tackling skills, Barron figures to be a contributor right away as a slot corner. The rookie plays beyond his 5-11, 194-pound frame and he'll join an experienced Broncos' cornerback room featuring Patrick Surtain and Riley Moss, a context that should aid his development early on.

Signed a four-year, $18.07 million contract with the Broncos in July of 2025.
Solid in rookie season
Barron recorded 35 tackles (24 solo), five passes defensed, including one interception, and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games with Denver in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Barron had a solid first season in Denver, playing in a depth role behind fellow slot cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian. The rookie Barron was effective in his opportunities, proving to be an opportunistic playmaker. McMillian is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason, and if the Broncos don't bring him back next season, it's possible Barron will see his role expand in 2026. Nonetheless, the 24-year-old Texas product will look to take a step forward and continue to develop heading into his sophomore campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Signs rookie deal Wednesday
Barron reported to Broncos training camp with his fellow rookies Wednesday after agreeing to a four-year deal worth just over $18 million, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barron, the 20th overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, also received a signing bonus of $9.8 million. The versatile Texas product, who played cornerback, nickelback, safety and even linebacker during his college days, has primarily worked at cornerback thus far throughout the offseason but is still likely to be utilized in a variety of ways in coordinator Vance Joseph's defensive scheme.
