Early in 2018, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen vaulted Minnesota Vikings defender Anthony Barr. Barr, a four-time Pro Bowler, is 6’5”, 255 pounds of linebacker hitting machine. He spoke with Tim Graham of The Athletic from this year’s Pro Bowl about the play and was amazed by it during and now after.
“I thought he was going to try to run me over and was, like, ‘This is crazy!’ Then he jumped over me, and I was, like, ‘Well, that’s crazy, too,’” said Barr from Orlando.
The play sparked a series of photoshopped tweets labeled with the hashtag #JoshAllenJumpingOverThings.
