Van Noy’s Return Could Shake Up Vikings Defense | Minnesota Vikings News

Veteran pass rusher Kyle Van Noy, 35 and entering his 13th NFL season, is poised to make an immediate impact for the Vikings. Despite a modest stat line last year with the Ravens, he’s coming off a career-high 12.5 sacks and his first Pro Bowl — and he’s hungry to prove doubters wrong. Motivated by players like Cameron Jordan, Van Noy’s been grinding in the gym and on the stair-stepper, targeting double-digit sacks again. His reunion with defensive coordinator Brian Flores — who coached him in New England and Miami — adds a major boost, as Flores knows how to unlock his best. While primarily a pass-rusher, Van Noy also brings coverage versatility. Starting on the practice squad, he’s primed to earn a role quickly, especially with depth questions at the position. Signing him early in September is a savvy move by the Vikings’ new GM — adding elite pressure on quarterbacks when it matters most.
