The Darrisaw Era Is Oh So Close

For the first time in his young Minnesota Vikings career, Christian Darrisaw was a full participant at practice.

Ordinarily, a “man practicing” is no big deal – men do it daily. But for Darrisaw, it’s meaningful.

And there she is. F.U.L.L.

Darrisaw was selected by the Vikings in the 1st Round of the 2021 NFL Draft to play left tackle as the incumbent Riley Reiff was released to clear cap space. Reiff joined the Cincinnati Bengals while general manager Rick Spielman chose youth via the draft with Virginia Tech’s Darrisaw.
