Allen Barbre's stock with Philadelphia Eagles rising

Published reports indicate that former East Newton High School and Missouri Southern State University football standout Allen Barbre's stock with his new team the Philadelphia Eagles is rising:

One of Barbre's new teammates, Evan Mathis, had high praise for Barbre:

Mathis, who came to the Eagles as what some considered a camp body, is now viewed as one of the top guards in the league by several media outlets. The Eagles found a diamond in the rough. That same jewel has now praised another offensive lineman who comes to the organization as a seemingly underwhelming journeyman similar to Mathis. "Allen Barbre is, at the very least, a starting caliber offensive guard," said Mathis. "If we were to lose a guard to injury, I'd be totally confident with him filling in."
