I really like Banks and hope his knee improves to the point where he will regain the speed he demonstrated that helped land him a spot on the team. With so many WR's in camp he's going to have to prove himself within the ranks of the competition.

That's the way for him to increase his chances of making the roster; contribute as a wide receiver, his listed position. On a 53-man roster, it's hard to justify keeping a player who is just a return specialist, no matter how good he is. Banks played just 15 snaps at receiver last year, but to his credit he does want to do more.
