Overview
- NFL teams received a letter saying Caleb Banks is on pace to be fully cleared for full football activities in early June after a CT scan of his left foot was reviewed by Dr. Norman Waldrop.
- He had surgery on March 9 to repair a fractured fourth metatarsal in his left foot sustained at the NFL Scouting Combine.
- Limited 2025 game action and the recent foot injury have shifted many mock drafts from projecting him in the first round to placing him late in the first or early on Day Two.
- Despite the layoff, he impressed evaluators by dominating the Senior Bowl and running a 5.05-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-6 and about 327 pounds on the injured foot.
- He remains one of the top-rated defensive tackle prospects by NFL.com, Pro Football Focus, and ESPN, which keeps his upside intact if he is ready for training camp.
