Less than 24 hours after the Vikings escaped with a 21-13 win over the Carolina Panthers last Sunday, head coach Kevin O’Connell sat down to review the film. He kept noticing pass rusher Marcus Davenport.Though it’s legitimately hard to miss Davenport based on his physical appearance — his 6-foot-6, 265-pound frame is rather imposing — he stood out because of how many plays he made in the game.How would O’Connell describe Davenport’s impact?“Just disruptive,” O’Connell said. “He’s such a force to try to block 1-on-1.”Indeed.
