Sam Hubbard

Edge, Ohio State

The Minnesota Vikings have been led the right arm of their quarterback this season, although it is not the name many expected heading in to the year. Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Bradford are both watching Case Keenum do the job in Minnesota, and he has taken control of the reins in the Twin Cities. Keenum has been one of the best stories of the NFL season, and the Vikinsg look like the real deal heading into Week 15.

Minnesota has had to deal with a ton of adversity this season, including losing their star rookie running back to a torn ACL. Still, they have held the rope, and have really banded together to be one of the more consistent teams in the conference in 2017. The Green Bay Packers are getting Aaron Rodgers back soon, and that causes problems for any team in the NFC, but the Vikings are a better team on both sides of the ball.

When it comes time for them to draft next April, they should look to continue to add to their defensive line. Sam Hubbard from Ohio State is a high motor guy who would fit in perfectly with the Vikings. Head coach Mike Zimmer is one of the best defensive minds in all of football, and Hubbard would be lucky to be drafted by an organization that is led by such and incredible defensive coach.
