ALLEN PARK — What happened to Johnthan Banks in Tampa?
He was nations's top defensive back at Mississippi State in 2012. He was a second-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013. He started right away, too, and picked off seven passes his first two years in the league.
But he lost his spot this year. Didn't record so much as a tackle. And then he was traded to the Detroit Lions for a seventh-round pick at the deadline.
Banks, though, insists he can play.
So what happened?
