On a loaded defensive line, Tom Johnson still gets the job done

From top to bottom, the Minnesota Vikings probably have the most talented defensive line group in the National Football League. Everybody knows the big names, whether it’s defensive end (and current Defensive Player of the Year candidate) Everson Griffen, young phenom Danielle Hunter, or the monster known as Linval Joseph. Yet, with all that talent on the defensive line, there’s a guy that a lot of folks outside of Minnesota don’t know about that still finds a way to make his mark. That guy is the subject of this week’s themed post with the rest of our SB Nation football sites, as we want to talk about a defensive lineman that manages to stay under the radar.
