Defensive Line

  • Danielle Hunter
  • Linval Joseph
  • Shamar Stephen
  • Everson Griffin
  • Ifeadi Odenigbo
  • Jaleel Johnson
  • Jalyn Holmes
  • Stephen Weatherly
  • Hercules Mata’afa

Hunter and Joseph are two of the better players at their positions who don’t receive the credit they deserve. Stephen and Griffin are solid veteran starters alongside those two. The Vikings have intriguing, young players to provide depth along the line in Odenigbo, Johnson, Holmes and Mata’afa. Weatherly is a productive veteran who stepped in well for Griffin last season.

Player to watch: Armon Watts
