5 most untouchable players on the 2023 Minnesota Vikings
By Adam Carlson
Vikings player No. 3
Christian Darrisaw, offensive tackle
Finding a high-quality offensive lineman can be a real challenge. Heck, the Minnesota Vikings are still trying to figure out how to better protect quarterback Kirk Cousins and create more space in the run game.
In two seasons, Minnesota's first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft has played in 26 games, starting 24 of those for the Vikings, racking up 1,506 offensive snaps played on offense and 113 snaps on special teams.
Replacing a starting left tackle is no easy task in today's NFL. It becones even more difficult when the player attempting to be replaced in on his rookie contract and is only 24 years old with an extremely bright future.
To say that it would be surprising to see Darrisaw traded or released is a bit of an understatement. He should be one of the cornerstones of a Vikings offensive line as they prepare for whatever the future may hold.
