Kevan C. Barlow (born January 7, 1979 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American football running back who is currently a member of the Dolphins. He graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and was drafted in the third round (80th overall) by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2001 NFL Draft.
High school career
At Peabody High School in Pittsburgh, Barlow ran for 3,121 yards, and 31 touchdowns, and received for 433 yards and ten touchdowns. As a senior he had 3.5 sacks, 33 tackles, and one interception from the safety position. During his high school career, he was a two time All-City choice.
College career
Barlow attended the University of Pittsburgh. While there he rushed 486 times for 2324 yards (4.78 yards per rush) and 20 touchdowns. He left school, being ranked 11th on the school's career scoring list with 144 points.
San Francisco 49ers
After enjoying a breakout 2003 season behind a run blocking line in which Barlow had a 5.1 yard per carry average and 1024 yards, the 49ers gave him the starting job by releasing Garrison Hearst. The 2004 season was an underachieving year for Barlow, where he didn't reach the 1000 yard mark despite being the primary back. At one point he was lowerd to second string by Coach Dennis Erickson in favor of Maurice Hicks. In the 2005 NFL Draft the 49ers selected Frank Gore to be the backup running back behind Barlow.
The 2005 season seemed to mark a rebound in his running game. He had 420 yards on 102 carries for a 4.0 average through 7 games but finished the season with just 581 yards on 176 carries for only 3.3 statistics, the San Francisco offensive line became one of the worst in the league after the 2003 season and seemed to be largely behind Barlow's struggles, although Frank Gore was able to make do with this same troubled offensive line with more success than Barlow.
New York Jets
The Jets traded an undisclosed draft pick to the San Francisco 49ers for running back Kevin Barlow. He rushed for 370 yards in 12 games and scored 6 touchdowns.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Barlow signed a 1 year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2007, but with the running backs Willie Parker, Najeh Davenport, and Verron Haynes already there he did not make the team and was cut after the 2007 training camp.
