The New Orleans Saints selected Texas left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. with the No.9 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and he's undoubtedly performing like a top 10 pick should right now.
He's an incredibly gifted pass blocker who consistently displays excellent technique throughout each rep in both practice and in games. Through two preseason games and 23 pass-blocking snaps:
- 0 pressures allowed
- 0 sacks allowed
- 0 QB hits
- 0 QB pressures
- 88.1 overall pass-blocking grade
- 90.1 pass-blocking effectivenss grade
That 88.1 overall pass-blocking grade puts him at the top amongst all other NFL offensive tackles through two preseason games as well.
