Anthony Rush went undrafted in 2019, but was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent. In nine games (no starts) with the Eagles, Rush recorded just six tackles and no sacks. He did, however, deflect two passes from the defensive line.

He appeared in four games with the Seahawks, recording 0.5 sacks and five tackles. Rush was then signed by the Bears and was activated from their practice squad on November 10. He was, however, waived by that team on November 24.
