Minnesota Vikings Week 1: Who to watch vs. the New Orleans Saints

Not even 23-years-old yet and Hunter has already racked up 18.5 sacks in his two seasons with the Vikings. Minnesota really had no choice but to make him a starter this year, so it will be interesting to see how the young pass-rusher performs in 2017 with an increase in time out on the field.
Hunter’s job on Monday night will be to frustrate Saints quarterback Drew Brees and prevent him from hurting the Vikings with his arm. Minnesota’s defensive end was able to cause a good amount of havoc during his limited time on the field this past preseason, so good luck to New Orleans as they attempt to stop the Vikings’ latest pass-rushing monster.
