No quarterback feels particularly great when Danielle Hunter is on the field.
Giants rookie Daniel Jones felt that on Sunday when Hunter sacked him twice.
Through five games, Hunter now has five sacks, putting him on pace for 16 sacks in 2019.
This comes after Hunter had a career-high 14.5 sacks in 2018.
It’s crazy to think that Hunter is only 24 years old and already has 45 career sacks.
We’ve got a long way to go before we start to talk about Hunter’s all-time NFL rank in sacks, but given his age and dominance, you have to think we’ll get to that conversation eventually.
Going into the week, Hunter ranked as Pro Football Focus‘ seventh-ranked edge defender.
Hunter is in the first year of a five-year, $72 million deal, which looks like a complete steal. He’ll make $10.5 million in 2019, a mark that ranks 20th among defensive ends in the NFL per Spotrac.
