Kevan Barlow

Kevan C. Barlow (born January 7, 1979) is a former American football running back. He was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 2001 NFL Draft. He played college football at the University of Pittsburgh.

He has also been a member of the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers.

New York Jets
Looking to replace Curtis Martin, who at the time suffered a serious knee injury, the New York Jets acquired Barlow from the 49ers on August 20, 2006 in exchange for their fourth round draft pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. Barlow appeared in twelve games for the Jets but only started three, running for 370 yards and scoring 6 touchdowns. His inconsistent performance and lack of production saw him drop to third on the depth chart behind Cedric Houston and Leon Washington. He was released on February 21, 2007.

Pittsburgh Steelers
Barlow signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers on May 10, 2007. He was expected to compete with Najeh Davenport to serve as the second running back behind starter Willie Parker. Barlow was released on August 27 as part of the Steelers' final roster cutdowns prior to the season.
