Unexpected Farewell: Former Vikings Defender Drops Shocking Retirement Bombshell

As the No. 9 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, he was the first pick of head coach Mike Zimmer, and given his positional versatility, was a tailor-made fit for his system at the time.
Barr proved to be a solid addition right away.
He logged 70 total tackles, four sacks and three fumble recoveries (one returned for a touchdown) in 12 games as a rookie.
He followed Zimmer to the Dallas Cowboys in 2022, one season after the Vikings replaced the coach with Kevin O’Connell.
