The Detroit Lions are adding another former Mississippi State cornerback to their secondary.
The Lions traded a seventh round draft pick in 2018 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for cornerback Johnthan Banks, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Banks, a second-round pick by the Bucs in 2013, has 130 career tackles, 16 passes defended and seven career interceptions. The 6-foot-2 Banks also gives the Lions a taller cornerback -- something Detroit has lacked this season.
It also reunites Banks and his former college teammate, Darius Slay. They were the two starting cornerbacks for Mississippi State in 2012.
