One player that didn’t get enough credit in 2022 for his performance was Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw. He was the second-ranked tackle behind Trent Williams and played some dominant football both before and after his mid-season concussions.
During his press availability on Thursday afternoon, offensive coordinator Wes Phillips spoke highly of Darrisaw.
“If anyone hadn’t noticed him yet, I know the players who play agianst him certainly notice him. I think across the league they’ll be talking about him as one of the elite tackles for year to come.”
Incredibly high, yet deserved praise from Phillips, who mentioned Darrisaw’s mindset and work ethic, including his late-night lifting sessions at the team facility.
Darrisaw has started to receive some recognition, including being named a top-five tackle in the NFL. An extension is looming for Darrisaw as early as January and he will be deserving of every dollar.
