Vikings' D.J. Wonnum: Smaller role in 2022
Wonnum totaled 38 tackles, including four sacks, while playing 16 games during the 2022 regular season.
Wonnum took a step back in both playing time and production following his career-best campaign in 2021. The third-year linebacker shifted into a rotational role behind Minnesota's top pass rushers Danielle Hunter and Za'Darius Smith. Wonnum still played at least 43 percent of defensive snaps in every game outside of the 2022 season opener, though he totaled just one-half sack over the final 10 contests, including the Vikings' wild-card loss to the Giants. Wonnum will look to post a more productive campaign during the final season of his rookie contract in 2023.

Vikings' D.J. Wonnum: Gets sack in season opener
Wonnum had a sack and two total tackles in Sunday's win over Green Bay.
Wonnum played on 21 of the defense's 61 snaps. Wonnum moved into a starting role after Danielle Hunter's season-ending pectoral injury Week 8 last year and responded with 33 tackles and seven sacks over his final 10 games. He'll begin this season in a reserve role behind Hunter and newcomer Za'Darius Smith as an edge rusher in the Vikings' new 3-4 defense, but Wonnum could find his way onto the field more since neither Hunter nor Smith were able to stay healthy in 2021.
