The Truth Shall Always Set You Free!....Ask Brian Banks

Brian Banks have an inspiring story that can touch those who read it.  He was the young man that was falsely accussed of rape at the age of 16 when he was a star linebacker for his high school football team. The next 10 years of his life was taken away because he served five years in prison and another five years on probation. Even though his privileges were stripped and he was only able to do so much, but he never lost hope and still trained as if he was trying out for a professional football team. He was exonerated this past May because the allegations appeared to be untrue. Upon that news, several NFL teams became interested in him and he was able to attend mimicamps for the Summer. Banks ended up at the minicamp of the Seattle Seahawks who is coached by Pete Carroll, the former USC coach who received a verbal committment from Banks that he was going to attend that college to play football.This past Wednesday Banks' dream came true when he signed with the Las Vegas Locos of the United Football League. He still has high hopes in being in the NFL, but of course just like everyone else, he has to start from somewhere. Even though this ain't the time for him to do so, he left an impact on NFL personnel and he is still on their minds. I am pretty sure that there will be more on this story because if it doesn't inspire then I don't know what it does. This goes to show that if you are meant to do something, it is never too late. Stay tuned for more on the successful journey of Brian Banks.
