Bleacher Report Has Lofty First-Year Prediction for Christian Darrisaw

Two Minnesota Vikings rookies have started all 16 games at left tackle during the last 25 years — Matt Kalil and Todd Steussie.

Kalil was wonderful for one season with the Vikings (2012) before his career careened onto an awkward path, ending in retirement at age 28. On the other hand, Steussie played 111 total games for Minnesota, securing Pro Bowl nods in 1997 and 1998 and then posting a very respectable season in 2000.

If Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report is correct, rookie Christian Darrisaw from Virginia Tech will make it three left tackles to start a full season during the first year of duty.
