Minnesota Vikings Bet On Potential With Danielle Hunter In Third Round
Jasen Vinlove USA TODAY SportsAfter a couple trades by general manager Rick Spielman that added two Day 3 picks, the Minnesota Vikings finally took their turn in the third round at No. 88 overall. For the third time in three picks so far in this year’s draft, the Vikings added a piece to their defense by taking LSU defensive end Danielle Hunter.
Hunter declared for the draft a year early, apparently against the advise of the NFL Draft Advisory Board. But a combine performance that included a 4.57 40-yard dash, a 36.5″ vertical jump and a 10’10″ broad jump elevated his stock despite a lack of notable pass rush production in college.
