Seems like a good kid with a great attitude despite everything he has been through and lost. Here's hoping he gets to a TC somewhere and gets his shot.

I wonder if he still would have had college eligibility?

Clock starts after your 21st Birthday, so, I dont' think so. At any rate, depending on when his birthday is (if he's 26) one at the most.

It's not every day that the Washington Redskins call up a man convicted of rape and ask him if he'd agree to a one-day workout, but it happened Tuesday.

Good first sentence. Mystery, intrigue, pro sports. What I'd expect from the WWL.

Video interview with Banks covering the back story. You don't have to read and you don't have to click on an ESPN link.

Shockingly, the BBC doesn't get into the sports aspect of the story at all outside of Banks talking about it briefly during several answers.

That has to be the stupidest woman ever. Not only sending him up for falsely accusing him of rape, but then to meet up with him and admit so many years later.........unbelievable.
