Antwan Edward Barnes (born October 19, 1984) is a former American football outside linebacker. He was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the fourth round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He played college football at Florida International.
Barnes also played for the Philadelphia Eagles, San Diego Chargers, and New York Jets.
After graduating from Miami Norland High School, barnes played college football at Florida International University in Miami, Florida where he was a 2006 All-Sun Belt Conference selection and the school's all-time sacks leader with 21.5. On April 29, 2007, he became the first player in FIU history to be drafted by a National Football League team when he was selected in the fourth round by the Baltimore Ravens.
Barnes was a promising rookie in 2007, notching 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 10 solo tackles. During a 2007 preseason game, Barnes delivered a blind side hit on Philadelphia Eagles punter Saverio Rocca, knocking off his helmet. Even though officials did not penalize Barnes during the game, the league fined him $12,500 for the hit. In 2008, on a roster deep with LBs, he made a name for himself as a stand out special teams player, also making his first post-season appearance. In 2009, Barnes started the year with his first career interception (against the San Diego Chargers, his future team), but then saw no action for several games. The team finally started using him late in the season, after the defense suffering an overall lack of pass rush, and he came in and notched 3 sacks and 10 solo tackles, as well as a force fumble.
