In his rookie season with the Vikings, Danielle Hunter accounted for 33 combined tackles, 6 sacks and 1 forced fumble. Not many would have expected that out of a rookie DE, let alone a 4th round rookie DE. Hunter ranked 2nd in rookies for most sacks in 2015-16.
10-year Viking, Brian Robison, had a similar start with the organization. In his rookie season, Robison recorded 32 combined tackles, 5 sacks, 3 passes deflected and 1 forced fumble.
Robison had a bounce back year last season, after injuries plagued him the 2 previous. Last season he had 20 tackles and 4.5 sacks.
Is this the year that Robison’s spot is finally taken over by young and hungry Danielle Hunter? What type of year do you project for Hunter? Maybe a sophomore slump?
Our projection:
Danielle Hunter: 36 tackles, 4 sacks
