Everson Griffen is the vocal leader and a three-time Pro Bowler who has 43.5 sacks over the past four seasons. Linval Joseph is the main man in the middle with back-to-back Pro Bowl nods while Brian Robison is the respected longest-tenured Viking who is preparing for his 12th season.
Danielle Hunter is a rising star, and Sheldon Richardson is the newcomer looking to make an immediate impact in Minnesota. Add in a bevy of young talent such as Tashawn Bower, Jalyn Holmes, Jaleel Johnson and Stephen Weatherly, and the Vikings might have one of the deepest defensive lines of any team in the NFL.
