Good things are happening for Brian Banks.
Banks, if you recall, unfortunately served 5 years in prison for a rape he didn’t commit.
However, on Wednesday, 10 months after his release that followed a California judge throwing out his conviction, Banks learned he’ll be wearing an Atlanta Falcons uniform.
“Aside from getting my life back and my freedom back, this is the biggest accomplishment of my life,” he told reporters during a conference call.
As he signed the contract, he wore a sweatshirt that showed a California license plate that said “XONR8.”
“We are pleased to have Brian join our team,” said Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff. “We had a chance to work him out last year and have been monitoring his progress since then. He has worked extremely hard for this chance over the last year and he has shown us that he is prepared for this opportunity. We are happy that Brian will have a chance to live out his dream of playing in the NFL, and we look forward to seeing him on the field.”
