So awesome. God damn I hope this guy makes it all the way.

Unfortunately, Banks was released by the Falcons earlier today

I figured the time away would prove too much at this time.

Hopefully he can stay with it (get on a practice squad somewhere) and get on next year.

Hope he sticks with it and goes for it again.

I keep reading this as Briana Banks, it's getting weird :/

Same.

 

[Cat Party]

That's a shame. Best of luck to him.

 

[Ducarmel]

The "experts" still say his raw talent should be good enough for a practice squad, I hope Arthur Blank's praise for him is enough for the Falcons to call him back or another team to pick him up.

There's always the CFL.

 

[IISANDERII]

Even though I'm not a fan of the CFL, I hope he comes here!
Or then again, maybe it's better he doesn't play football and get brain degradation.

He could still make practice squad on their team or another and work his way up this way. It doesn't mean his career is over so to speak.

 

[No Love]

I fully believe this man will play in the NFL. After all he's been through and how fucking good he is despite having never played college ball, I just know he'll be playing soon enough. Nobody can deny that he has motivation and mental strength beyond any normal human being, and his story is quite possibly the most inspiring I've ever heard for a sports player. They need to make a fucking movie about this guy.

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

The word is that Arthur Blank, owner of the Falcons, is trying to find a way to keep Banks with the organization in some other capacity than on the field.

I think he will make practice squad, he did make it too pretty much the last cut so that's pretty good. He just missed so much football he's having to play catch up. All these guys had college to learn how to play the game the right way, he got none of that. He'll most likely get on the practice squad, learn the right way to play the game over the season, and make the full roster next year.

 

[Skunkers]

I admit the chances of him really making it are slim. But if he somehow makes it, can you even possibly imagine the feeling he would have stepping out onto the field for his first game? I don't think words could describe it, I would be bawling my eyes out.

 

[Friggz]

After watching the giants this preseason they should be knocking this guys door down.

 

[BakedPigeon]

I thought this was about brianna banks. fuck.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Wouldn't mind the Panthers picking him up on our practice squad.

 

[Vyroxis]

If anyone deserves the chance to walk out onto the field on game day, its this guy. I hope he sticks with it amd makes it a reality.

 

[Codernaut]

In case anyone was wondering about the accuser, Brian Banks is so coming up smelling like roses right now:


Brian Banks’ False Rape Accuser Wanetta Gibson Blew Her Entire $1.5 Million & is on Welfare

What a pathetic, desperate shit excuse of a woman.

 

[hitmon]

I keep reading thread title as Briana Banks.

Dammit, I initially read the title that way as well.. It sucks this guy got cut, but I hope he makes it. Really rooting for this guy after getting dealt such a shitty hand.

 

[Ronin]

It was a long shot, but hey it's amazing he made it this far. Falcons owner, Arthur Blank really likes him and apparently wants to keep him around the franchise in some capacity.

 

[ATF487]

There's always the CFL.

Yeah, CFL scouts watch the last round of NFL cuts with a lot of interest. There's a chance he could make a squad there, or get on another practice squad in the NFL.

He sounds like he's decently talented, but I wouldn't be surprised if a team takes him on for PR reasons.

In fact, Glazer reports that Falcons owner Arthur Blank was so impressed by Banks during his time with the team that he’s trying to find a career opportunity for him in the Atlanta area.

I kinda wonder if he'll end up being a scout or learning skills that'll lead to a front office job.
