Minnesota Vikings head coach confirms that Anthony Barr is a linebacker

There was some weird speculation going on recently that I hadn’t heard. That tidbit was that Anthony Barr was going to be moved from outside linebacker to become a defensive end for the Minnesota Vikings.

The Star Tribune discussed this “talk” in an article on their website and somehow this speculation moved all the way into the media, where someone actually asked head coach Mike Zimmer if a position change was going to happen.

As expected, Zimmer pulled no punches and gave a straight forward answer. However, he also qualified his answer a little bit as to not give away entirely what the team will be expecting from Anthony Barr in 2019 and beyond.
