07:59 AM ET 09.05 | For his part, Brandon Banks sees a different player and person than when he first arrived in Washington as an undrafted rookie out of Kansas State. Banks admits he remains far from a finished product, but he -- and his coaches, by evidence of his inclusion on Washington's 53-man roster -- believe that he is on the right track. As has been well-documented, Banks received a challenge from coach Mike Shanahan to prove that he could make the team as a pass-catcher, and not just a special teams player. After Banks rebounded from early struggles to close out the preseason strongly, Shanahan said the Redskins need to get the ball in Banks' hands more this season.

A rookie QB throwing to a rookie WR doesn't usually inspire much confidence, but, what the hell? If there's going to be an exciting team in the NFC East, it will be these guys.
Hail to the Redskins!

Fans aren't overly on board with Banks, but if he can make a play or two here and there, he'll be fine.

I think its his 3rd year. He used to run returns. Shanny loves him for some reason.

I like that picture of RG-III much better than the "Shanny checks out the fanny" picture they started with.

With all due respect, and they are good, the Pro Bowl means nothing.
But yeah, the Bengals are going to make the AFC North a lot of fun to watch this year.
