I was pulling for the guy.

It's a shame what happened to him, but considering he only played HS football and hadn't played in several years, the PS was really the best he could hope for.

Aw man, he had very little playing experience, hurt him too much. I hope he gets another opportunity.

Bright side, is Falcons Owner Arthur Blank said he likes Brian Banks so much that if he doesn't catch on with another team, he wants to hire him in some capacity to stay with the team. So I don't know if that means scouting, coaching, or whatever, but classy move on his part.

This would be great for him. Many top HS recruits never quite catch on in college, even those that go to big time programs, and we all know many top prospects don't quite cut it in the NFL, so it's amazing that after everything he's been through, he can still work in the NFL.
