The announcement notes that Barwin was in attendance during the East-West Shrine Game practices this week, and he will also attend the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama next week.
Of course, Barwin played for the Eagles from 2013 to 2016, collecting 211 tackles and 31.5 sacks. In his time in Philly, he became a fan favorite partly for his play on the field, but also for his charitable work off the field.
Barwin was not immediately made available for comment.
