This past offseason was probably the biggest in terms of growth overall for both Barnes himself, and his NSFL team, the Outlaws. After a very disappointing Season 11 for Barnes in terms of stats, he felt he really needed to make a change in his training during the spring and summer months. In the past, Barnes had almost always been working out with his long time friend, Steve, that had been helping him ever since he made it onto his high school's varsity team. Unfortunately, after almost a decade of doing this, Barnes felt he really needed a change in order to truly elevate his game both on and off the field. He truly feels like this new training method that he did this offseason has really put him in the best shape of his life™. As for the Outlaws as a whole, this is definitely the best overall squad that's been put together in his entire time here. The amazing draft class that was brought in last season is all a year more polished, including reigning DRoY and LBoY Alex Selich, as well as bringing up players from that class that stayed down an extra year in the DSFL like Steven Moore and Slim Shady. Not only that, one of the best wideouts in the history of the league, Trey Willie, came to the desert on a 2-year deal to really bolster the offense and aide star quarterback Kevin Fitzpatrick. All in all, a good overall offseason for the Outlaws.
