Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter has 40 career sacks.
That’s pretty wild considering Hunter’s only 24 years old.
He’s coming off a career-high 14.5 sacks and that landed him a spot on Pro Football Focus’ 25 under 25 team.
Here’s what PFF wrote about Hunter:
Danielle Hunter has, in his own right, earned the right to be in the conversation about the league’s best young pass rushers. His 190 pressures since 2016 are tied with Frank Clark for the 11th-most among all edge defenders in that span, while his 8.0 pass-rushing productivity rating ranks 15th among the 90 edge defenders with at least 500 snaps.
Hunter has proven to be an absolute steal for the Vikings. He was taken in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft and he’s not slowing down anytime soon.
Hunter already ranks 11th in team history in career sacks and if he repeats last season’s performance, he’ll surge into eighth place.
