# Kyle Van Noy

NFL edge rusher / linebacker. Position: **EDGE/LB**. Team: **Minnesota Vikings** (pending).

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** EDGE / Linebacker
- **Team:** Minnesota Vikings
- **Age:** 35
- **Draft:** 2014 (No. 40 pick, Detroit Lions)

## 2026 Outlook

Veteran pass rusher potentially signing with the Vikings as a free agent. At 35, Van Noy offers experience and positional versatility. He's reuniting with DC Brian Flores, with whom he previously worked in New England (2016) and Miami (2020), suggesting a fit in Flores' sophisticated defensive scheme. After recording 23.5 sacks in three seasons with Baltimore (2023-25), Van Noy could provide depth and veteran leadership on the edge, though expected to play a backup/rotation role rather than a featured position.
