EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Anthony Barr remembers the waiting period for the NFL Draft’s arrival being out of his control and the emotional moment that made it worthwhile.
Barr and 2014 draft classmates had to wait two weeks longer than the 2015 group of prospects will to hear their names called as the first step of their dreams becoming fulfilled.
“You can only do so much and hope somebody likes you enough to pick you,” Barr said.
The Vikings weren’t the only ones impressed by Barr, but they claimed him with the ninth overall pick.
