OUTLAND TROPHY: CHRISTIAN DARRISAW, VIRGINIA TECH

Darrisaw didn't quite break Penei Sewell's record for the highest single-season PFF grade by a Power 5 tackle (95.8), but he certainly challenged it, and he did so despite going against far stiffer competition. Darrisaw led all Power 5 tackles in both pass- and run-blocking grade this year, culminating in a 95.6 PFF overall grade for the season.

The Virginia Tech left tackle logged 293 pass-block snaps across 10 starts in 2020, yet he allowed just six pressures, all of which were hurries. He also notched the highest positively graded run-block rate in the Power 5 for his efforts as a people-mover in the Hokies' zone-rushing attack.

Darrisaw declared for the 2021 NFL Draft after his dominant 2020 season, and according to our very own Mike Renner, this year has him poised to be taken in the top 20.

All jokes aside, congrats Big Dawg!

Darrisaw had an amazing season and a great career for us. Hats off. I wish he had made finalist for the actual award, but it was a steep year of competition.
