The Minnesota Vikings have one of the most intimidating defenses in the NFL. They have a strong secondary, talented defensive line, and a dynamic group of linebackers to keep opposing offenses on their toes.
One major piece of that puzzle is Anthony Barr. Since being a first round draft pick for Minnesota in 2014, Barr has surprised many fans with hustle plays, feats of athleticism, and a willingness to do what the team asks.
However, 2016 hasn’t been a great year for the linebacker. According to the Pioneer Press, head coach Mike Zimmer spoke about the situation with Bar and gave an interesting reasoning for his struggles this season.
