From NFL.com
quote:
STRENGTHS: Height, length and competitive nature could make him a starter. Good hands for the interception, can high-point passes and make difficult catches with superb concentration. Effective on jump balls in end zone and knocks away passes from behind without interfering. Does not give up on plays even as receiver is catching the ball. Former safety is not contact-shy, solid tackler when coming downhill. Quick to attack running plays, even when playing off-coverage, making it tough for receivers to get a hand on him. Effective as a blitzer against the run and pass. Rips at the ball whether making a tackle downfield or attacking the quarterback in the backfield. Excellent mirror and change of direction skills, displays loose hips despite being a tall corner. Not asked to play a lot of press coverage and he’s not very strong, but he has a quick disruptive jam.
WEAKNESSES Getting bigger, but still quite thin, especially in his lower half. Stronger backs can still carry him when they have a head of steam and physical receivers can block him on the edge and separate from him easily downfield. Plays a bit tall, will miss tackles coming in high and lacks strength to arm tackle receivers. Does not have elite straight-line speed, will not recover once losing a step. Rarely backpedals, asked to play mostly off-coverages and opens his hips early to prevent getting beat deep. Inconsistent looking for and finding the ball in the air, miss-timing jumps and taking bad angles to the ball. Can get caught peeking in the backfield.
NFL COMPARISON: Aqib Talib
BOTTOM LINE: SEC receivers were hoping Banks would head to the NFL after his second-team All-SEC junior season, but they had to deal with the tall, lean three-year starter’s ball skills and competitive streak for another season before he headed off to challenge pro receivers. He has experience playing a number of spots in the secondary, beginning his career as a safety, before eventually settling on the boundary corner and nickel spots. His skills is man coverage were under-utilized at Mississippi State, and if he can keep adding weight to his long, wiry frame, has the potential to be an excellent press-man corner, a skill that will make get him selected in the top 40 picks.
[From what I've seen, Banks needs a good time in the 40 tomorrow.]

For shits and giggles: Tyrann Mathieu did 4 reps. at 225.

I think I could do more than that and I haven't done bench since my senior year of HS.

His 5th rep was just part of the struggle..

Might as well add Banks 40 time to this

Slay is killin' it. Where do y'all think he gets taken?
Posted on 2/26/13 at 12:52 pm to 17theBears
Maybe before Banks.
Early 2nd is my guess.

I think slay helped himself out tremendously, but no way he's getting taken over Banks. Banks has more tape and has shown intangibles.

Why? Slay is better.

It just my personal opinion, I think banks has the better track record as a whole not to mention the national award. Not saying ones a 1st and ones a 5th, just that banks will go ahead of slay because of the intangibles he's had more of a chance to show

A lot of people think Slay has a higher ceiling.

Anybody who works for the team will tell you Bank's might be better the first 2-3 years, but Slay will better career.

Slay had more action on his side due to Banks this year.. He has steadily improved. Banks had a great game against TN, then was slightly injured. These factors added to him doing a victory lap year after all the early entry possibility draft talk may have ended up biting him.
I agree on Slay being possibly the better consistent coverage guy, but either way Jonathan Banks has given MSU some awestriking games..
I will never get over the interception this year from behind / over the head of the receiver.. His ball skills are second to none. Jameon Lewis can muff more return kicks in one game than Banks his whole career.

Banks improved his broad jump to 10'6" today at the Pro Day.
I hope his 40 time gets out. If he drops significantly, I'm sure they will tweet about it.

@joestate: Consensus from scouts is Banks improved 40 time. Each varies, but somewhere around low 4.5s.

Really helped himself out today. Improving on everything.
