The Buccaneers have added some speed to the secondary with the recent signings of Brent Grimes and Josh Robinson today, as it looks like the team wants to get faster, and aggressive play from the cornerback position. With now having Grimes, Verner, and Robinson whom all are under 6 ft tall, provide speed and ability to make plays on the ball. So what does this mean for Johnthan Banks who is 6'2 and relies on his length and physicality at the corner position, but also has shown the ability to be a ballhawk with 7 interceptions in his first three years.
Is it possible that Banks could be worked out at the safety position this off-season as he has shown capability to make plays when playing off man coverage. He had success at the safety position during his college years when with Mississippi State, and could have more impact plays at that position. This is all hypothetical as I'm just basing this on the recent moves made, and that an possible position change could be on the way for Banks. Ideally, I see Banks staying at corner as his length can be an asset against bigger receivers and when he is allowed to play his style he can be an shutdown corner type player. The good thing is the Bucs have flexibility with the recent signings, so that is a positive for this team.
