The sixth-annual TSN #CFLPlayerPoll revealed Friday that Banks is considered both the fastest and most electrifying player in the CFL among his peers, winning both categories by a large margin.
Mike Reilly (toughest player) and S.J. Green (best hands) were declared winners for the third consecutive year, while Simoni Lawrence won the award for the biggest trash-talker for the second consecutive year.
The poll surveys more than half the players in the CFL, with players from all nine teams casting ballots. CFLers were asked to name one player for each of the categories in the poll and were not allowed to choose a member of their own team.
