First-round DT healthy for camp; projects 34–50 pressures with high ceiling pending technique improvements.
First-round pick Caleb Banks is expected to be full-go for training camp after his foot injury healed in early June; the Vikings held him out of most OTAs but ramped him up toward the end. The source projects Banks could have 34–50 quarterback pressures this season (comparing him to Jonathan Allen's 34 pressures and Jalen Carter's 50 in 599 snaps), though likely fewer run stops than either. His ceiling is sky-high given physical measurables, but he needs to improve conditioning (a college criticism), technique, pad level, hand fighting, and pass-rush awareness. The source expects him to play fewer snaps than Allen's 809 but could match Allen's pressure total.
