New Orleans Saints left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. is preparing for his second NFL season after a highly successful rookie campaign. He became the third Saints left tackle since 1978 to start every game at the position, earning consensus All-Rookie honors. Banks Jr. aims to improve his consistency, focusing on eliminating minor errors that occurred during his 681 pass-blocking snaps. He also seeks to build on his strong debut to help the Saints secure an NFC South title.
Banks Jr. is working closely with fellow offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga, with whom he aspires to become one of the NFL's top tackle duos. They have been observed engaging in extra practice sessions to refine their techniques. The addition of veteran offensive lineman David Edwards, a Super Bowl LVI winner, further strengthens the Saints' offensive line. Banks Jr. has noted Edwards' positive impact, highlighting his experience, intelligence, and fitting personality.
The Saints are continuing their training camp with various practice sessions scheduled throughout the week, including sessions with pads and helmets. A preseason game against the Jaguars is set for Saturday at the Superdome. Fans can submit questions for the weekly mailbag on Wednesdays.
