Bucky's first job was the one that got him started on his way to football stardom. Not many fields to play on in Brooklyn besides prep schools so he took a job being a water boy for the local team at the age of 15. He'd get home, eat some food and then hop on his bike down the road to help them with their practices. He'd pick up trash on the field, carry the Gatorade cooler, and line up the blocking sleds all for like $5/hour. But the real profit didn't come in the form of money. In addition to his pay, he was allowed to work out with the team as well as learn a thing or two from the coaches who had taken a liking to Barnes. Before long he had really developed some muscle and the coaches offered him a try-out that turned into a scholarship, that became a college scholarship, which became a roster spot on the Marshals.
