Banks runs a 4.59 and a 4.64 Unofficially Official***

He may have slipped a little but still a long way to go...
He still has his pro day and I'm sure he will get plenty of individual work outs with teams. He definitely didn't have the day he was looking for though. I was thinking closer to 4.5 than 4.6. We knew he wasn't a 4.4 guy.
I think Slay is gonna kill it this morning though.

I'm not surprised in any way given these are electronically timed. I've certainly never thought of Banks as a pure speed guy.
I was hoping for around 4.5. Then again, I could see some of the better teams (NE) jumping on him, if not he's a early to mid 2nd round pick.
Nope- Banks is a football player- his instincts make-up for his speed, but unfortunately, lots of NFL players have great instincts also
Agreed. I dont know if I'd say he's better, but I always said if you're an NFL team there is more value in Slay than Banks considering where you'd have to draft the two.
I've said that for 3 years- the problem is he cant get big enough to play safety...F/S instincts and speed trapped in a CB body
Why isn't Banks a FS? Is he not thick enough?
Seems like he's got the height and would be above average at coverage and would hopefully be in a better position to match up with some of the tweener guys that are too fast for linebackers but too big for most cb's. I know you'd prefer a lock down corner to a good FS, but it seems like if 4.6 was too slow for a lockdown corner, he'd still be a very good FS prospect.

At 4.6 he could play cb in a physical press man defense ala Seattle, however, he's not physical and he's never played press man. Brandon Browner is a 4.6 guy but he's really physical.
Gaining weight.....if he's not getting bigger he's not eating enough. It's that simple.
