Darrisaw, the 6-foot-5 and 315 pounder, was a three-year starter with 34 starts in college, all of which came at left tackle. Allowing only six total pressures on 267 snaps in pass protection, he has good length, demonstrates good timing and quickness with his punches, and has very good grip strength.

In the run game is where Darrisaw is at his best, flashing good quickness moving forward, has shown solid ability to reach and has the athletic traits to be very effective in the Chargers’ zone scheme. He has spectacular ability to get to the second level and finish, as seen here.

Darrisaw projects as a solid starter as a blindside blocker in the NFL. He has the length and athleticism to thrive at left tackle, but like Slater, Darrisaw offers versatility to play inside, given his physicality and mobility. The Bolts could utilize that, if need be.
