Kelvin Banks Jr. Looking Like Saints' Future Left Tackle
ESPN's Katherine Terrell writes that the New Orleans Saints seem prepared to make rookie first-round offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. their future starting left tackle, which will free up last year's first-rounder, Taliese Fuaga, to move to right tackle, the position he played in college. Banks was moved around during offseason workouts, but it's clear that he'll ultimately stay at tackle with Trevor Penning moving inside to guard. Center Erik McCoy thinks Banks will hold down the left side in the Big Easy for a "long, long time." The 21-year-old from Texas was selected with the ninth overall pick in April's NFL draft. While Banks could have his ups and downs early on as the blind-side protector for either rookie quarterback Tyler Shough or second-year signal-caller Spencer Rattler, his athleticism should make him a staple on the left side in New Orleans for years to come.
