<p>Almost by definition, NFL players are unusually strong people. Even by the standards present in the NFL, though, Christian Darrisaw is tremendously strong. </p>
<p>A recent word from Kevin O’Connell underscored that idea. To be sure, the head coach was being a bit comedic, passing along a hyperbolic description as a way of emphasizing how strong Darrisaw is. Even still, there’s some important insight we can glean from O’Connell’s words about the stud at left tackle. </p>
<h2>Christian Darrisaw Sending NFL Trainers Flying</h2>
<p>Before going any further, consider what O’Connell had to say. </p>
<p>“It was just a matter of, he’s progressed to a point that,” O’Connell insisted, “if you put some trainers out in front of him, he’s probably, we’re going to have to go find those trainers after he throws them over the fence ’cause he’s that strong. So we had to get him back around real football players.”</p>
<p>Again, O’Connell is being a bit cheeky. The point, however, is a good one: Darrisaw’s injury recovery has made so much progress that asking regular human beings — NFL trainers — to work against him felt a touch unfair. Better to let the tackle tango with NFL players.</p>
