The Minnesota Vikings are quietly building one of the best defenses in the NFC under head coach Mike Zimmer. The Vikings already have the nucleus for one of the best young linebacker units in the NFL with Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks and Lee may be the best of them all.

He ripped up the Combine with a 4.47 40 and showed great athleticism and explosiveness in the jumps and agility drills and would be an ideal weakside linebacker in this defense. He has perennial Pro Bowl potential and could become the leader of this defense for years to come after ding the same at Ohio State the last three years.
