AP_allday2869 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Even though it is very early, Pace has the makings to be one of the better draft steals in team history. My only worry is if his play will continue at a high level once Flores leaves. Obviously, Pace is a good player, but how much of that is Flores putting him in the best position possible? Will the next DC try and fit a square peg in a round hole and not scheme to his players' ability? But so far, he is arguably Kwesi's best signing as GM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace fell through all seven rounds of the NFL draft last April before signing a three-year, $2.715 million contract that included $236,000 in guarantees. https://vikingswire.usatoday.com/lists/zulgads-four-and-out-passing-on-jaren-hall-ivan-pace-jr-s-impact-and-why-the-vikings-defense-deserves-a-number/?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR0pzu-ioVXEIcugpMOhDVpHaMaqTo-DZTZ0-FsiRzXf6JtaFeqD2oTVwfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also quite fortunate. If he had been drafted in the 7th round, he would have had a 4 year contract and would be a year farther from his big payday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 As good as pace has been, I wonder if he's going to hit a bit of a rookie wall soon. It's probably a good thing that he wasn't asked to do a ton early on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Quote LB IVAN PACE JR., MINNESOTA VIKINGS One of two undrafted players on this list, Pace has been the perfect fit for Brian Flores’ defense in Minnesota. His 77.2 overall PFF grade leads all qualified rookie linebackers and ranks 17th in the league. Pace’s trademark blitzing ability has carried over from his days at the University of Cincinnati. His 22.9% pass-rush win rate is the second highest among 85 linebackers with at least 20 pass-rush snaps this season. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pff-2023-all-rookie-team-cj-stroud-puka-nacua-kobie-turner-and-more 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
