A First Round Pick (9th Overall) and All-American from UCLA, Anthony Barr made the Minnesota Vikings starting lineup as a rookie at Right Linebacker, but it was the next four seasons that land him on this list.

Chosen for the Pro Bowl annually from 2015 to 2018, Barr might have worked the right side of the field, but was capable of plowing through the interior at any time.  A punishing tackler (ask Aaron Rodgers), Barr had been accused of taking his foot off the gas pedal on occasion but when he was on, there were few better.

Barr was not resigned after the 2021 Season and would leave Minnesota with 495 Tackles in 98 Games.

2023 Pre-Season Rank #75, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #73, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #84, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #79.  Peak Period: 2015-19

Barr had four consecutive Pro Bowl years (2015-18) but did so without a First- or Second-Team All-Pro Selection. Barr should have some acknowledgment in Minnesota when his career ends, and we suspect he will, but his run of accolades likely has ended.
