You don't avoid kill shots returning kicks....you take them more than almost any other position...due to the 40 yard head of steam bearing down on your freakin' head.

You think if he was 5'11" and 185 he'd be the 3rd pick in the draft just because he's fast?....i don't think so...perhaps he would be a mid rounder if he were a different size. The dude only had 1 TD and 700 yards last year as a reciever.

Imagine this guy as a wideout...a 200 lb corner would literally throw him like a little girl off the line...I really dont see why he is wasting a NFL spot...this guy is dead meat...and it's a bit embarrasing to have a guy smaller than a 8th grader on our team...the guy is gunna get killed out there.

I disagree.
Punt returners can take big hits but they aren't that common. Kickoff returners often take bigger hits but they run directly into the kickoff coverage and they don't have the option of fair catching a ball in play. Do you remember Dgreen Dante hall taking any kill shots?

You play the guy in the slot and that solves the problem of him getting off the line.
Even if he was split wide, most corners are going to have to respect his speed and give him some cushion, if not, easy six for us.

His size is not that uncommon. Mark McMillan had a solid 8 year career at corner. That guy had to deal with every single player trying to run him over and he held his own.

I'm not going to start the Brandon Banks Mancrush fanclub but he deserves a shot.

If Sproles can survive at RB, someone like Banks can do just fine on returns.

I'm confident he'll make the team even if he only plays teams. This is not uncommon folks.

He was clocked at a pro day at 4.26

Ran poorly at the combine.

Who cares the guiy has some serious football speed!!

Let's have him race Darrell Green and see who wins.

Speed kills and can't be taught. He's a keeper.

After last nights preseason game against Buffalo, I'm convinced Brandon Banks can make it in the NFL. His size is an advantage rather than a hinderance. He is not only fast and quick but elusive. It's hard to adjust to someone with quickness and speed. His only flaw is dropping punts. If he takes another punt to the house, he would have had more punt returns that ARE, Moss or any other punt returner has had in many seasons. I'm routing for this young man to make the 53 man roster. He won't be the only player under 170 pounds to make it in the NFL. Buffalo's Roscoe Parrish is small and a starting WR for 4 years.

I got one better for you... He raced Chris Johnson twice and beat him twice. The man maybe the fastest man in the NFL.

That's right, I heard that. Still, when Darrell was in his prime he would smoke anyone except maybe Usain Bolt. Hell, he's still faster than a lot of NFL players.

That's right he is. Boy what a game last night and his punt return was just good to see.

He's like a skinnier version of Dante Hall and we know what Dante did in the NFL.
