They thought they had found a secondary that could be nicknamed “No Fly Zone.” With Dashon Goldson and Darrelle Revis, Banks could comfortably fit in as the number two corner. His rookie season he posted solid numbers with 55 tackles and 3 picks, after winning his fight with the well publicized MRSA outbreak at One Buc Place. In 2014 Revis was released and replaced with Alterraun Verner and Lovie Smith was hired to replace Greg Schiano. The new Tampa-2 system seemed to fit Banks perfectly as he had his best season with 50 tackles and 4 interceptions.
