Vikings defensive duo being slept on in recent NFC North ranking

Entering the 2025 season, there might not be a better one-two punch at edge rusher than Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel of the Minnesota Vikings.

Greenard and Van Ginkel combined for 23.5 sacks and 41 quarterback hits in 2024 with the Vikings. According to Pro Football Focus, Greenard was ranked third in the NFL in pressures with 80, while Van Ginkel was ranked 26th with 49.

These are impactful players for the Vikings who the team will have for a long time, pressuring quarterbacks. How do they rank among the top edge rushers in the NFC North with Micah Parsons now on the Green Bay Packers after the trade with the Dallas Cowboys?
