NFL Vikings Twitter explodes after Za’Darius Smith signing
Minnesota Vikings fans have been on the edge of their seats ever since it was announced that two-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith was in town for a visit.
The thought of Smith joining Danielle Hunter and creating one of the best one-two punch combos in the NFL had SKOL nation begging the football gods to move mountains, manifest miracles and basically, do whatever it took to ensure a deal went through.
Now, the former Green Bay Packer will be wearing purple in 2022 after agreeing to a three-year, $42 million deal with the Vikings. The pipe dream of a Smith and Hunter defensive combo has become a reality.
Let’s Go💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 https://t.co/tYho5czqKe

The Vikings ranked 2nd in the NFL in sacks during 2021 with Danielle Hunter missing 59% of all games.
Now, Hunter returns to meet at the quarterback with Za'Darius Smith. Sky should be the limit inside a brand new 3-4 defense.

Literally having good pass rush helps our CBs, with hunter and Za’Darius smith meeting at the quarterback…. 2 seconds max to hold that ball 🏈 😂

Za’Darius Smith, Danielle Hunter, Dalvin Tomlinson, Eric Kendricks, Harrison Phillips, Jordan Hicks being 6 of the front seven has to be SCARY to opposing offenses
