Man falsely accused of rape a winner in NFL tryout
(CBS News) Brian Banks, the pro football hopeful who spent more than five years in prison for a rape that never happened, tried out for the Seattle Seahawks Thursday.
His first tryout for a National Football League team went so well, he's been asked to come back for more.
Randy Paige, of CBS Los Angeles station KCBS-TV, broke the story that led to Banks being exonerated.
He asked Banks what it was like to finally show what he could do.
"When I walked out on that field, I thought, 'It's now or never. Let's just shine," Banks told Paige.
