It must have been almost comical seeing 39 year old former NFL quarterback Jeff George out there throwing the ball to Banks. Carson Newman had their Pro Day on March 1st 2008 and receiver James Banks put on a show for 18 NFL teams watching the workout.
Many of you that follow high school recruiting probably remember James Banks. He (Banks) played quarterback in high school and was named Indianapolis Star Indiana Mr. Football in 2001. He was recruited heavily and chose Tennessee over Notre Dame. However his division 1 career came to a sad halt after numerous disciplinary and academic problems.
Tennessee booted him off the team in 2004 and he eventually transferred to Carson-Newman, where he emerged as a dominant receiver, catching 22 passes for 370 yards and six touchdowns in 2007.
Banks wasn't invited to the 2008 NFL Scouting Combine, but he might be a late round selection in the 2008 NFL Draft if one of those 18 NFL teams liked him enough, he measured in at 6' 2" 215 pounds and displayed excellent hands and looked explosive.
