The fine folks over at Pro Football Focus ranked the top 50 players in the NFL heading into the 2020 season.
We’ve already covered safeties Anthony Harris (30) and Harrison Smith (35).
The Vikings’ third and final representative on the list was defensive end Danielle Hunter, who came in at No. 50.
Here’s what PFF wrote about Hunter:
Somehow, Danielle Hunter is still just 25 years old. He had a career year for the Vikings last season, notching by far the best overall PFF grade (89.0) and pass-rushing grade (84.5) of his professional career. Hunter’s 97 total pressures (including the playoffs) also represents a massive jump in production, with 29 more than he’s ever had before despite the Vikings making it a game further in the playoffs the year that was his previous best. Hunter finally began to emerge into the player his sack totals suggested he had been for a while, and 2020 could put him even higher this time a year from now.
Hunter has had back-to-back 14.5 seasons and last season, he became the youngest player in NFL history to hit the 50-sack mark.
