Darrisaw's first college start occurred as a true freshman against Brian Burns and Florida State in 2018. His first NFL start also involved blocking Burns, the 16th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft by Carolina.
"Man, it's crazy. It was like, maybe this was meant to be or something like that," Darrisaw said. "Just like going back to college, when I didn't even know who Brian Burns was until like the day of the game. He was like one of the top defensive ends in the nation, and now we're here in the NFL, and that's who I'm getting my first start against. I gave up a sack against him in college, and I just had that in my mind, like, 'No sacks this week. I'm going to have him on lockdown.' "
Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer said Darrisaw played "really well" in his first start.
"Burns is a good pass rusher," Zimmer said. "He did a nice job there. He got beat once, I think, in a pass protection. There was one play he was supposed to do something he didn't do. But other than that, I thought he played very well. He's very athletic."
