Anthony Barr finally speaks on the viral 'Tush Push' clip that spread everywhere

Back in 2018 when he was still a member of the Minnesota Vikings, Anthony Barr was filmed on the sideline having a conversation with former teammates Harrison Smith and Anthony Harris about how a team should come up with a play where the offense has "one big dude at quarterback and then another big dude right behind him and then just mush em."

The play that Barr came up with that day is essentially the infamous "tush push" play that the Philadelphia Eagles have run to perfection in the last few seasons. The success of the "tush push" play is probably why the clip of the former Minnesota linebacker's conversation with Smith and Harris in 2018 has been viewed over 1 million times since it was shared in 2023 on the NFL Films official account on Instagram.
