Johnthan Banks improves forty time to low 4.5
Johnthan Banks - DB - Mississippi State Bulldogs
March 6, 2013 - 12:40 PM ET

Mississippi State CB Johnthan Banks improved his forty time to an unofficial 4.51 and 4.52 at the school's Pro Day.

Banks ran an unofficial 4.59 at the NFL Combine, leading many to question if he could stick at the cornerback spot. The time isn't dreadful, and Banks thrived in playing a lot of cover 3 at Mississippi State. You can rarely teach an edge corner how to be as aggressive as Banks plays, so he might project best in a press scheme.
