Longtime NFL reporter and former Sports Illustrated writer Don Banks died Sunday. He was 56.
Banks passed away in his sleep after attending the Hall of Fame ceremonies in Canton, Ohio.
Banks was recently hired by the Las Vegas Review-Journal to cover the NFL.
Banks had previously worked for Sports Illustrated's NFL team for over 16 years. He was known for his "Snap Judgments" column, which was a comprehensive roundup of every Sunday’s NFL action. He wrote his last Snap Judgements for SI in 2016.
Banks's first piece for the Review-Journal was published Sunday.
