Caleb Banks looks absolutely unplayable. Not a good start considering where he was drafted.
The very definition of a project. His injuries were one thing, but so was his lack of production when he did play. Maybe the team was transfixed on that one game where he tossed blockers around like rag dolls.
Success or failure for players like him often hinge on how strong the desire is to improve, work ethic, etc. And barring a light bulb moment, that's probably already known.
He looks like a guy who has to have limited snaps. Technique needs lots of work. He should watch film of KWill and Henry Thomas.
A couple reasons for optimism is he was a team captain at Florida so he doesn't have a Haynesworth type attitude. And our coaches have developed a few young guys the last couple years (Redmond, LDR, EWilliams).
From pure looks, he looks like a guy an offensive lineman sees when walking to the LOS and says Holy Shit, I have to block this guy? But the video is out, and they're like I'm going to obliterate this guy while he is raw.
I'd go with Richard Seymour mixed in with a little Keith Millard but KWill and lunch-bucket Hank works well.
Developed? IMO developing, although Redmond was a hidden gem and is different from the others. If he keeps his trajectory, they better not try to be penny wise because they will end up pound foolish. An ever improving Redmond is going to be a relatively early test and decision for Teasley.
