Rookies, when they enter the NFL, are bound to spend some of their rookie contract on a variety of things. Most tend to buy things or help out family, others look for the car or house they have wanted. In the case of Minnesota Vikings first-round pick Caleb Banks, he spent some of his early rookie contract on something…different.
The Athletic’s Alec Lewis shared on Wednesday that Banks, who is known for his unique collection of pets, had added another spider and three more snakes to his family of exotic pets. Earlier in the offseason, Banks shared he had already had two pythons, a chameleon, and a cane corso.

Ironically, the cane corso is the most tame pet in his family, considering it is a dog.
However, on the field, Banks has shown to be explosive early on and has overcome some early setbacks in the offseason program after being drafted. The former Florida Gator had suffered a broken foot in January so seeing him on the field is a sight to behold for the Vikings franchise.
