Johnson, a former CFLer who struggled to find a fit in New Orleans, has 14 sacks the past three years. And Danielle Hunter, who slipped to the third round because of raw pass-rushing technique that belied his athleticism, tied for third in the league in sacks a year ago. Jones is here because he wants to become Patterson’s next success story.

Pretty evident down in TC. They set the spiritual tone for the team too. If anything, DJ will allow us to keep Tom Johnson as a rotational player more than the last 2 years. He's at the point now where he wears down and becomes much less effective. Having him fresher in December for all those road games is going to help Vikings defensive tackle Datone Jones is finding his sweet spot - Guest - 08-09-2017 Quote: @purplefaithful said: |
