NFL: Combine — Austin Booker draft projection: Top 3 NFL landing spots for Kansas DE

1] Minnesota Vikings

Multiple members of the Minnesota Vikings' front seven entered free agency in 2024, including multiple-time Pro Bowl linebacker Danielle Hunter, who signed with the Texans. His presence on the field cannot be undervalued, as he has been a crucial contributor to the tune of 462 tackles (316 solo) and 87.5 sacks.

He also registered eight pass deflections, 11 forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, two touchdowns and one safety.

Losing him is something that Kewsi Adofo-Mensah will no doubt have prepared for, and Booker may be the guy who brings a much-needed boost to the unit. Brian Flores would love nothing more than to have another agile edge rusher who can terrorize the likes of Jared Goff and Jordan Love.
