When the Vikings drafted defensive end Danielle Hunter 88th overall in 2015, he had just 4.5 collegiate sacks to his name through three seasons at LSU.
He’s now 25 years old and has 52.5 career sacks in the NFL and was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday morning.
Zimmer was asked what he saw in Hunter and what he thought of the low sack total when they scouted him for the NFL Draft.
“We looked at his athletic ability, which was top-notch; we looked at the type of person he was, which is top-notch,” Zimmer. “We looked at his sack numbers and why he didn’t have very many, and felt like if he changed some of his angles and some of the things he did and changed some of his hand usage and things like that – did we know he was going to have 50 sacks at 25? No. But we felt like we could improve him as a pass rusher.”
What did Hunter correct in that first season in Minnesota?
“ had a tendency to run straight up the field and turn left as opposed to taking the proper angle, getting on the offensive tackle and using his hands and athletic ability,” Zimmer said. “Basically, he would run straight up the field, make it a wide turn and have to turn left, and he didn’t have time to get .”
