Orange, out of Iowa State, is called "Big Citrus."

It's easy: He's big. And his last name is Orange.

This is pretty literal -- since an orange is a citrus fruit, he gets this nickname.

Orange weighs more than 320 pounds and is a nose tackle.

He'll likely be a two-down type of guy, out there to stop the run.

The Vikings took DT Caleb Banks in the first round out of Florida, but he's a different player type. He's more capable of getting after the quarterback.

Minnesota will hope Banks and Big Citrus can team up for years to come to stuff opposing run games, too.
