New England Patriots defensive lineman Christian Barmore was inked to a massive four-year, $92 million extension with $41.8 million guaranteed earlier this offseason for his work since entering the league and the type of player he's expected to grow into.
Despite Barmore's production in the middle of New England's defensive line, he was recently left out of ESPN's list of top-10 defensive linemen put together by Jeremy Fowler after surveying NFL executives, coaches and scouts.
The 24-year-old didn't make the cut, but he was listed as an honorable mention and even had an NFC exec comparing him to the best defensive lineman in the league, according to this survey.
After the list came out, Barmore took to social media to share his thoughts on the matter.

Barmore seems ready to prove all of these decision-makers wrong, and there's a strong chance that he makes the leap into next year's top 10.
