Danielle Hunter wins NFC Defensive Player of the Month

After terrorizing defenses in the month of October, Minnesota Vikings outside linebacker Danielle Hunter won NFC Defensive Player of the Month.

The sack leader in the National Football League with 10.0 sacks, Hunter dominated opposing offenses in October. He recorded the third-most sacks in October with 5.0 and led the NFC with two forced fumbles. Hunter also notched 18 tackles with 5.0 tackles for loss.

Hunter was the catalyst of a Vikings defense that led the NFL in forced fumbles (7), third in yards per play (4.6) and yards per game (287).

After being a potential trade piece at the trade deadline, Hunter stayed with the Vikings and will be a really important piece moving forward.
