The Vikings introduced their top draft pick, Caleb Banks, with a news conference where he mentioned his love for animals and plans to bring his four pets to Minnesota. The 6-foot-6, 327-pound defensive lineman was not wearing a boot during the news conference. He had surgery last month after cracking the fourth metatarsal bone in his left foot during a practice session. The injuries caused him to miss games in both 2023 and 2025 for the Florida Gators.
