The edge rushers for the Minnesota Vikings have changed a lot over the years, but many of the former purple and gold defenders have gone on to find success with other teams after their time in Minnesota came to an end.
Today's edge rushing unit is strong for the Vikings. Andrew Van Ginkel, Jonathan Greenard, Dallas Turner, and others have the Minnesota defense among the most respected units in the league, while former players are finding roles for themselves elsewhere.
One example of a player who left Minnesota to do good things somewhere else is Patrick Jones II.
