Brandon Banks

Man, I hope this guy makes the team. At the very least have him return kicks/punts. 1049 yards in 2008 and 705 in 2009. Sub 4.3 40 time and at 5'7" and 142 lbs he's not afraid to go over the middle. Big things come in small packages, let's hope he turns out to be a big thing.

Totally agree. He was the shiftiest person I saw at training camp.

KSU is like the breeding ground for little speedsters-Rock, Sproles, Banks (Ok well maybe Rock's not exactly a speedster)

He'll be exciting to watch in preseason for sure. Will be interesting to see if he can make the team

I'm a fan of his abilities, just have to wonder what happens when he really gets popped

Seems like a good kid. Spoke with him at TC for a few moments. He's a very small dude. Not just in height, he's slim. The little guys that have made it recently have been thick. I like the kid, but one real solid hit from an NFL 200 lber and he's done. I don't think he makes it, but with his speed the CFL is a real option for him.

Brandon Banks and guys like him make the pre-season interesting. If you know all the side stories and what to look for the 4th quarter of a preseason can be very entertaining.

The casual fan misses out on this.

BTW Hard Knocks tonight on HBO!

Saw him at training camp today, and tracked him a little bit because he was so short. Pretty sure he dropped two passes, and I remember saying to myself, "He's got to be kicking himself for those." They were catchable, and the whole crowd went "aaahh.."

I guess if he has 4.22 speed, perhaps we can overlook one or two drops, but...

He sure is shifty. But if there were tackling in training camp he might already be dead.

I agree with you.

Of course for most of us on this board w all know most of these storis, and even with some of the stories the end of some presason games are very hard to watch! I am very interested to watch our preseason this year though to see how this team is setup for depth. These past few years we all have seen that this team has had no depth and our preseasons have been extremely difficult to watch the 2nd and 3rd stringers to play.

He definitely needs to add some weight and I'm sure he will...hell, once they have him working on his neck he'll easily add another 10lbs...if Sproles at 5'6" and 180 lbs can take a hit he'll be able to as well.
