Danielle Hunter is 'fresh,' healthy and a welcome sight for Vikings' defense

EAGAN, Minn. -- Ten months removed from the injury that caused him to miss the 2020 season, Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter puts his overall health at “100%,” but that doesn’t mean he’ll rush himself to get back on the field.

There’s a difference between being healthy and being in football shape. If anyone knows that, it’s Hunter, who has spent months rehabbing from October neck surgery to repair a herniated disc.

Hunter, who missed OTAs this spring, showed up to mandatory minicamp after the Vikings converted a reported $5.6 million of his $12.
