Minnesota Vikings resmi menambah talenta muda di lini pertahanan mereka dengan memilih Caleb Banks, defensive tackle dari Universitas Florida, pada pilihan ke-18 dalam draft NFL 2026.
Pemain berusia 23 tahun ini memiliki catatan akademis dan atletik yang menjanjikan. Banks menghabiskan dua tahun di Universitas Louisville sebelum pindah ke Florida dan bermain selama tiga musim. Dengan tinggi badan 6 kaki 6 inci dan berat 327 pound, Banks dikenal memiliki kemampuan fisik yang mengesankan serta bakat alami di lapangan.
Meskipun demikian, Banks sempat menjadi sorotan karena riwayat cedera yang dimilikinya. Cedera terbaru yang dialaminya adalah patah tulang di kaki saat mengikuti Scouting Combine. Namun, ia diprediksi akan pulih sepenuhnya menjelang dimulainya training camp.
Sementara persaingan antara Kyler Murray dan J.J. McCarthy di posisi quarterback menjadi sorotan utama di kamp pelatihan Vikings, para penggemar juga menantikan kontribusi Banks. Ia diharapkan dapat memberikan dampak signifikan sebagai pemain rookie di lini pertahanan.
