Christian Darrisaw played through groin injury in 2020, had core muscle surgery in January

Christian Darrisaw should be fully healed soon and received a 👍 at his Combine medical. While his tape is considered very good, playing with a serious injury should be noted, as well. Either way, Darrisaw is viewed as a first-round tackle. https://t.co/XFv9zgQ5A4

One of the top offensive tackle prospects in the 2021 NFL draft played through a significant injury last season, and had surgery to repair another one this offseason.

Virginia Tech’s Christian Darrisaw suffered a groin injury late in the 2020 season but kept playing, and had surgery to repair a core muscle injury back in January, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport notes that Darrisaw got a clean bill of health at the NFL’s medical checks earlier this month, which should bode well for his chances of still going in the first round Thursday night.
