Barnett played in eight NFL seasons from 1990 to 1997 for the Eagles and the Dolphins. He made the Pro Bowl following the 1992 season and was known for his ability to make acrobatic catches. He was the receiver on one of the Eagles' longest plays of all time, a 95-yard touchdown pass from Randall Cunningham in a 1990 game against the Buffalo Bills. Barnett was later the tight ends coach of the Memphis Maniax of the XFL.[3]
Barnett's cousin Tim Barnett was drafted the next year, with the same pick (3rd round, pick 77) as Fred, and played the same position, WR, with the Kansas City Chiefs.
