Each year Carl Banks becomes more and more special.
It’s not that his impact on the Giants increases, or that he makes any more tackles or wins any more Super Bowls. That legacy is unchanged.
It’s just that each year that passes adds another to the tally of seasons since he was the team’s first-round pick in 1984. That was the last time the Giants drafted a linebacker in the first round. The streak stands at 32 years.
Will it get to 33?
Maybe not if Jarrad Davis is there waiting for them with the 23rd selection.
