Every one deserves a chance, esp this poor kid, and the PR wouldn't hurt.

If he does go to college, the NFL-NCAA should waive the rule requiring him to play at least two years of college and allow him to turn pro after one year.
If I were Banks, I would take steps to enroll in college but I would also workout for teams this summer and if invited go to a training camp. It I make a roster, then postpone college. And, I would pick a team without a settled LB corp--the Redskins would seem to be a pretty good choice. |

Maybe we should also try out the guy who slept with his sister. We need help along the o-line as well.

So because we're offering a tryout to a guy who had a consensual sexual encounter we should be offering tryouts to dudes who commit incest? You lost me. |

This is all PR about giving someone a second chance. Why not give a real second chance to someone who committed a stupid, but nonviolent crime, and who's more qualified to play pro ball than Banks? |

My preference would be avoiding criminals as much as possible. |

And this is exactly why Banks never got a real "second chance" after he got out of prison. |

I can't believe someone has an issue with this. We can try out everyone on the planet if we'd like.

He doesn't deserve a second chance because he never gave up the first one....I'm just glad he is out and getting an opportunity he probably was going to get.
