Under the watchful eye of noted trainer Bill Welle, former Gophers linebacker Thomas Barber has been working hard at Training Haus in Eagan.

Barber didn’t receive an invitation to next week’s Combine, but he’ll still get a chance to impress NFL scouts at the Gophers’ March 25 Pro Day.

Barber’s dad and two older brothers all played in the NFL.
