Carl Banks Biography

Carl Banks is a former NFL linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion known for his career with the New York Giants. The Giants selected Banks with the third overall pick of the NFL Draft, and he became a key part of one of football's most recognized defenses. In New York, Banks played alongside Harry Carson and Lawrence Taylor, forming a linebacking trio that earned All-Pro honors and contributed to two Super Bowl titles. During his senior season at Michigan State, Banks won the Dick Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker. He continued his success in the NFL, making the Pro Bowl, recording 39.5 career quarterback sacks, and earning a place on the NFL's 1980s All-Decade Team. Banks is also a member of the New York Giants Ring of Honor.

Banks earned a broadcasting degree from Michigan State and pursued a career in sports media. While still playing for the Giants, he hosted a post-game show on WNEW, which led to a long media career. Banks is a voice on Sirius NFL Radio and WFAN, and serves as an analyst for New York Giants radio broadcasts. Bob Papa is the play-by-play announcer, with Banks as color analyst and Howard Cross as sideline reporter.

In addition to his work in football and broadcasting, Banks has been active in the sports apparel industry. He launched a big and tall clothing brand with Foot Locker and later joined G-III Apparel Group, where he serves as president of the sports division. G-III Sports produces licensed apparel for the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, and NCAA. Banks also led the revival of the Starter brand, with G-III as the exclusive licensee in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Banks is involved in community service, particularly in raising awareness about head injuries in youth sports. He helped establish a concussion and brain injury center and advocates for proper helmet use and safety for young athletes. Banks was recognized as the Giants Alumni Man of the Year for his contributions on and off the field. He speaks on topics such as leadership, entrepreneurship, and lessons from his football career, bringing a disciplined approach to each engagement.
