6 Vikings players who could make the NFL Top 100 List this year
By Dustin Baker
Danielle Hunter – DE
2019 NFL Top 100 Ranking: 57
2020 NFL Top Projection: 35
Even when Danielle Hunter was a rookie reserve player in the league, he was a menace. His intimidation of opponents has only intensified as he’s reached the ripe old age of 25.
The players that vote on the NFL Network’s Top 100 tend to reward longevity and sustainability. After his fifth campaign of continual production, Hunter should be duly acknowledged by his peers. Look for his membership to this club to spike by 20 or more spots.
Hunter was fourth in the NFL in sacks and ninth in tackles for loss last season. His resumé supports the promotion. He also had a momentous strip-sack of last year’s No. 2 overall player on this list, Drew Brees. The turnover happened in a road wild-card playoff game, of all things.
