MANKATO, Minn. -- In an atmosphere of constant turnover in the chase for fresher, cheaper NFL talent, age can be as much of an asset as size, smarts, speed and strength.Danielle Hunter was quite the addition to the Minnesota Vikings last year. Not only did he rank second among all rookies with six sacks, taking full advantage of a part-time role, but Hunter was the youngest player in the league.I use it as an advantage, said Hunter, who wont turn 22 until Oct. 29. Theres guys still older than me whove been drafted this year.Becoming a fixture as an extra pass rusher in the nickel package, Hunter shined down the stretch with one sack in each of the last three games in December.Coaches told me to do this, and I went to go do it, Hunter said.That sense of duty, focus and respect helped establish the third-round draft pick as perhaps the most welcomed addition to the Vikings last season. The veterans on the defensive line, a position group often filled with the most alpha males, were quick to embrace the quiet kid from LSU.I think the main thing is because I actually sit down and I listen to them, Hunter said. Theres a lot of people who just go out there when they come to the league, and they try to do their own stuff, but I just sit down and I listen.Born in Jamaica, Hunter immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised in the Houston area. He declared for the draft after his junior year, bringing some rawness that contributed to him being a second-day selection.The Vikings, relying more on analytical data and projection in their scouting in recent seasons, identified Hunter as a high-ceiling prospect who was well worth an early-round pick. His 6-foot-5, 252-pound frame has a 34-plus-inch wing span, and his 4.57-second time in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine was the best in 2015 among defensive linemen.Oh man, he can be outstanding. Like I tell him, I wish I was so humble, Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen said. Hes a player that listens to all the information. You could tell him to run a mile around the track because its good for you, and hes going to run it.Hunter has been lining up next to fellow defensive end Brian Robison in some situations during training camp, and coach Mike Zimmer will surely continue to find ways to play his best pass rushers -- Griffen, Robison, Hunter and outside linebacker Anthony Barr -- at the same time. Robison, whos 33 and in his 10th year, could soon find Hunter taking his job as the every-down regular at their position.At the end of the day, if hes better than me and he takes my job, thats the way it is, Robison said. But at the end of the day, Im here for one thing only, and thats to win a Super Bowl.The Vikings have at least put together a championship-level defense, with experienced players like Griffen, Robison and defensive tackle Linval Joseph fronting a wealth of under-25 potential stars. Hunter is in that group.Mentally hes starting to understand the game more and more. I just think hes going to be bright young talent in this game for a long time, Robison said. Hes already at such a young age in this league anyway, so as long as he can stay healthy, I think hes going to be a force to be reckoned with.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Air Force Ones Near Me .

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Derek Holland has been a model of consistency for the Texas Rangers since coming off the disabled list.Even though hes only made two starts, the left-handers performance so far is a positive sign for the American Leagues top team as it tries to solidify its rotation behind Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish over the final five weeks of the season.Holland allowed a run and four hits with five strikeouts in six innings, the same as in his return five days earlier. The Rangers beat the Cleveland Indians 2-1 on Sunday, taking three of four games in a series between division leaders.What we always talk about is being consistent and I want to make sure Im showing that, Holland said. I know its two games in a row. The way Im going to look at that is, whoop-de-do. ... Its good to live in that moment. Ive got to continue to worry about staying consistent.Ian Desmond and Jonathan Lucroy each had an RBI single for Texas, which has an 8 1/2-game lead over Houston and Seattle after both those AL West rivals lost Sunday. New left fielder Carlos Gomez made two highlight-reel catches, including a runs-saving grab to end the sixth against the last batter Holland faced.Holland (6-6) had missed two months because of shoulder inflammation before starting Tuesday at Cincinnati, a 3-0 loss. He threw 62 of his 84 pitches for strikes against the AL Central-leading Indians.When Derek throws strikes, Derek has success, Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. He had a great mix today.Cleveland loaded the bases in the ninth against closer Sam Dyson, who allowing a single and then consecutive one-out walks before striking out pinch-hitter Tyler Naquin and retiring Abraham Almonte on a fly ball to end it.

Gomez was sprinting back and reaching over his head when he made the catch.We had a few chances, Indians manager Terry Francona said. (Napoli) hit his ball and Gomez made a nice play, but we didnt have a ton of chances.That was an inning after Gomez made a leaping catch with his glove extended as his body crashed into the left-field wall to rob Jose Ramirez of a hit.ddddddddddddGomez played his fourth game for Texas after playing in 85 earlier this season for the Houston Astros, who designated the two-time All-Star for assignment Aug. 10.He was the hero today, Holland said. I may have pitched a fairly good game ... those are two big, huge catches.RUN AFTER REVIEWDesmonds run-scoring single in the second came on the first pitch after Elvis Andrus had been initially called out on a stolen base. The Rangers challenged and Andrus, who went to second while Nomar Mazara struck out, was ruled safe on a replay review that extended the inning.NOTHING EXTRAThe Indians finished with six hits, and the Rangers had five. All of them were singles. It was only the third game in the 22-year history of the Rangers ballpark that didnt include any extra-base hits. The previous one was against the Los Angeles Angels three years ago.SCORING SLUMPThe Indians won 12-1 on Friday night, their only win in Texas. Cleveland scored four runs total in its other six games the past week, and was shut out twice in Texas.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: Just before the deep fly Gomez caught, Ramirez fouled a pitch off his right leg, just above his knee. ... LF Brandon Guyer was hit by a pitch in the fifth inning. It was the third time in this series and MLB-high 28th time this season he was plunked.Rangers: There was a short delay in the fourth inning when team photographer Kelly Gavin was struck on the back of the head by a foul ball hit into the photographers well at the far end of the Rangers dugout. Gavin got the rest of the day off, and team officials said she would be OK.UP NEXTIndians: Start a 10-game homestand Monday night with right-hander Trevor Bauer (9-6) on the mound against Minnesota, which has the ALs worst record.Rangers: Darvish (4-3, 2.91) makes his third major league start against fellow Japanese pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma in the opener of a three-game series against Seattle on Monday night. Darvish and Iwakuma both came to the majors before the 2012 season. They have split their first two MLB matchups, with each winning at home. ' ' '
