Top 5 NFC North edge rushers in 2023 ranked

2. Danielle Hunter, Minnesota Vikings

The number one question is whether Danielle Hunter will play for the Vikings this season.

Hunter's future with the Vikings is uncertain. The star pass rusher held out of minicamp, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Minnesota has received trade calls, adding that "the interest is real."

Hunter leaving the NFC North would be good news for the other three teams. But he remains a Vikings player, which means he is still one of the best pass rushers in the division.

He has battled injuries in recent years, but is an incredible edge defender when healthy. Hunter missed the entire 2020 season due to a neck injury and featured in only seven games in 2021.

However, he bounced back last year with 10.5 sacks, 22 quarterback hits, and 12 tackles for loss, earning him his third Pro Bowl selection. According to Pro Football Reference, he also made 34 pressures, 11 hurries, and 11 quarterback knockdowns.

Hunter has four seasons with double-digit sacks, including the last three when he hasn't missed significant time due to injury.

The 28-year-old is a phenomenal pass rusher and one of the best in the league. The Packers and the rest of the NFC North sure hope he gets traded somewhere else this summer.
