Former Pro Bowl LB Carl Banks: NFL’s level of play has declined

Former Giants Pro-Bowler Carl Banks weighed in on the state of the NFL.

Former Giants, Redskins, and Browns linebacker Carl Banks joined 120 Sports to discuss the current state of the NFL and why the league isn’t quite as competitive as it once was.

Banks, 53, who is a current broadcaster for the Giants, played from 1984 to 1995 and made the Pro Bowl in 1987. He acknowledged “some really bad football games being played” in the modern NFL.

He also discussed what he views as poor officiating to go with the poor play around the league, and lobbied for more off-season development time between players and coaches.
