“The #Vikings have exercised the fifth-year option of Christian Darrisaw — a formality for one of the elite offensive tackles in the game.”

In his second season, Darrisaw participated in 14 games, 14 of which he started. He had two penalties, five sacks allowed, and a 90.3 PFF grade.He suffered a concussion that kept him out of three games.
In his third season, Darrisaw participated in 15 games, starting 15, and finished with an 82.4 PFF grade, seven penalties, and six sacks allowed.Due to a groin and knee injury, he missed two games.
After the Vikings upset the 49ers, Kevin O’Connell commended Darrisaw and the offensive line for their efforts.
Following the game, Kevin O’Connell remarked, “They knew the challenge.” “Listen, regardless of the situation, you have to be tuned in on every single snap all night long because Nick Bosa is an incredible, unbelievable player. However, they also have players who constantly approach you, like (Arik) Armstead and (Javon) Hargrave. It can go horribly wrong if you’re not tuned in at that particular instant. We have had some really good tackles this year, but tonight’s response to the bell speaks volumes about the importance of Brian O’Neill and CD to our squad.
