Danielle Hunter balled, so he got the call

When you put together the sort of performance that Minnesota Vikings’ defensive end Danielle Hunter did on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, you’re going to get recognized. Hunter had 3.5 of the Vikings’ franchise-record ten sacks of Matthew Stafford, and also had nine tackles, four other quarterback pressures, and a 32-yard fumble recovery for a score in the contest.

While we expect that Hunter will be named NFC Defensive Player of the Week this week, for now we’ll have to settle for him getting a call from NFL Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders on the NFL Network.
