Barrett has bounced around the league since his career at Ohio State came to an end following the 2017 season. The ex-Buckeye was not selected in the 2018 NFL Draft but eventually signed a deal with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent.

Since then, Barrett has had stints with the Saints, Seattle Seahawks and Steelers.

Barrett had a tremendous career while at Ohio State. He accounted for 12,697 total yards and accounted for 147 total touchdowns. He helped lead the Buckeyes to a pair of B1G championships and a national title during his time in Columbus.
