Some day, hopefully, someone is going to give Brian Banks a chance to win an NFL job.

After making the rounds this summer, Banks had another workout with the Seahawks Thursday, but was again denied an opportunity when they signed Antonio Bryant to the one roster spot they had available.

Banks, who was cleared of a rape conviction in May, has since worked out for the Chiefs and Chargers as well. He served more than five years after being convicted on rape and kidnapping charges, only to see them overturned when his accuser admitted to making up her story.

Banks’ utter lack of bitterness has won admirers league-wide, now all he needs is one of them to give him a job.
