Something to note: if Kelvin Banks Jr. wins the Outland Trophy tonight, he'll be the first offensive lineman to win the Outland Trophy and the Lombardi Award in the same season since Orlando Pace in 1996.

Anyone have an injury update for our budding superstar?

Finalist for the Outland Trophy

 

Hilarious seeing Graham on there when there's a gif somewhere of Banks literally throwing him into his own teammate. Epic. 

Thank you for coming to the 40 Acres, Kelvin. Without you and the others, we would still be wandering the recruiting and building up a T. Instead, you came in and immediately dominated and were rewarded with all of your hard work.
 

Congrats, man. Hook Em 🤘

Dude, he won both the Outland and Lombardi. He's on that Orlando Pace track. LFG

Edit: He also won the Jacob's Blocking Award. Dude went 3/3. Absolutely epic.

Quoting @satyanash.  Great stat.  First time since the great Orlando Pace. Amazing

According to ChatGPT, which may be missing a few, besides Pace the only other players to win both awards were Leroy Selmon, Ndamukong Suh, and Aaron Donald. Pretty good company. 

Wow.  We used to tell ourselves these guys shouldn’t really be playing much until their junior year.  This guy step on campus ready to dominate.   Outstanding.

Orlando Pace is a high bar. He met it in college for the most part, but it’s a high bar for a career. Orlando is in the Tom Brady of o linemen discussions. I hope he crushes it next level.

What’s the Jacob’s Blocking award? Never heard of it.

Like someone else said, how’s he healing up?

It's apparently some blocking award the SEC gives out? That's all I know about it. 

As for his healing, they're keeping a lid on it for the time being. Last I heard he was still in a boot, but that could be precautionary. Hopefully he's back by next week. I don't remember if they ever revealed the severity of the injury. It may just be something that heals up quickly. If not, I'm cool with Goosby. He's done a fantastic job filling in for Banks.

Oh man, I think Pace may actually be the best lineman I've ever witnessed. I hope Banks kills it in the league, but yeah, that's a high, high bar to reach.

Glenn Dorsey, Steve Emtman, Tracy Rocker, Dean Steinkuhler, Dave Rimington, Randy White, Ross Browner, John Hicks, Rich Glover, Jim Stillwagon... more than a few have won both. But it's become rarer.

Banks is the only OL that I have ever really considered the argument for retiring his number.

Go be great big man. Thanks for your time in burnt orange. I know you will have a long successful nfl career 

We were able to spend the last 3 years watching one of the greatest OL in Texas history.

Dean Steinkuhler, Dave Rimington,

This reminds me that the years Nebraska didn't suck get further and further in the rearview mirror with each season and that's just good clean fun if you ask me.

Also congratulations Kelvin. Go wreck some shit

We’ve known it was coming since he took his first snap, but dang I hate to see him leave.

Daniel Jeremiah has Banks graded in the mid 20's of the 1st Rd, but based on this year's NFL Draft expects Banks to get drafted between the 10th and 15th picks.

Was someone paying Kiper to try to depress Banks' draft stock?

Somebody forgot to tell him his arms are too short and he can only be a guard in the NFL.

In Saints news, the young and experienced Spencer Rattler beat out the old and inexperienced Tyler Shough for the starting job.

I looked up their ages and Spence and Tyler are born on the same day! Except Spencer is one year younger. 

Spencer is smaller, but he’s a year younger and has starting experience in the NFL. Absolutely he is the preferable option to start the season as the guy Banks will be protecting.

Either one in there they are tanking for Arch for the next two to ten years.

Counterpoint to your counterpoint…

If you’re blocking for Spencer Rattler, then you don’t have to look at him.

(No one huddles anymore.)
