University of Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks had a pre-draft visit with the Raiders on Wednesday, according to his Instagram.<\/p>\n
Banks projects as a second-day pick.<\/p>\n
He played two seasons at Louisville before transferring to UF, where he totaled 46 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and 5.5 sacks in three seasons. <\/p>\n
Banks played only three games in 2025 because of a left foot injury. He fractured the fourth metatarsal in the same foot the night before on-field testing at the Scouting Combine. Banks underwent foot surgery last month and is expected to return in June.<\/p>\n
San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson was also in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Jordan Reid of ESPN reports.<\/p>\n
Johnson previously had pre-draft visits with the Jets and Steelers.<\/p>\n
He could hear his name in the first round after earning All-America and Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year honors last season. Johnson totaled 13 passes defensed, four interceptions and allowed no touchdowns in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"University of Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks had a pre-draft visit with the Raiders on Wednesday, according to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-233883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
