Vikings pass rusher Danielle Hunter inked a big contract extension earlier this week after spending three seasons with the team. In his first three-years in the NFL, Hunter has been among the better defensive ends in the NFL when it comes to getting after the quarterback. Since entering the league in 2015, the former third-round pick has appeared in 46 games (17 starts) and has raked up 25.5 sacks in those 46 games. When comparing Danielle Hunter’s and DeMarcus Lawrence’s career, you’ll notice both players have had very similar careers.
Hunter entered the league as a third-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, and Lawrence entered the league as a second-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
