Connor Alfred Barwin (born October 15, 1986) is an American football defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Cincinnati, and was drafted by the Houston Texans in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft.
Barwin is the youngest of four sons of Thomas Barwin and Margaret Bailey. He was born deaf, which was not confirmed until he was two years old. He endured numerous surgeries to remove a benign tumor until about age 12, which gave him complete hearing in his right ear and limited hearing in his left ear. His favorite team as a child was the Detroit Lions and his favorite player was Barry Sanders.
Barwin attended the University of Detroit Jesuit High School. As a senior, he was an All-state selection and earned All-League, All-Catholic, and All-District honors. He was also an All-League selection in basketball as a junior and All-Catholic as a senior.
Barwin played college football at the University of Cincinnati, where he was a history major. As a freshman in 2005, Barwin played in all 11 games as a backup tight end, finishing with eight receptions for 144 yards and one touchdown. The starting tight end during Barwin's freshman and sophomore seasons was Brent Celek.
In early January, after injuries had decimated the Cincinnati basketball team, he joined the team, playing in 18 games as a backup forward and averaging 9.9 minutes per game. That season, he tallied highs of nine rebounds vs. South Carolina and six points vs. Pittsburgh.
