Everson Griffen is gone, but the swagger from the right edge of the Vikings' defensive line isn't.
Yannick Ngakoue, acquired in a trade with Jacksonville this week, shows no fear discussing his goals of making the Pro Football Hall of Fame and teaming with Danielle Hunter to give the Vikings the best edge-rushing tandem in the NFL.
"When they talk about edge rushers, we want them to talk about Danielle and Yannick," Ngakoue said Friday. "We want to become the best of the best. We want to be elite."
The bookend 25-year-olds already are elite.
