Everson Griffen

Everson Griffin dominating at Vikings' camp

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen has been "at the top of the mountain" as the best player at camp, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Mark Craig reports.

What It Means:

Griffen has quietly turned into a star in Minnesota, picking up 22.5 sacks over the past two seasons. Craig went as far to call Griffen a better player than retired Vikings defensive end Jared Allen. We wouldn't be surprised to see Griffen take another leap forward this season.

Our algorithms project Griffen for 53.51 tackles and 13.89 sacks in 2016.
