​2018 Guest Speakers:

Carl Banks, former New York Giant Super Bowl Winning Team 1986 and 1990

Carl was born August 29, 1962 in Chicago, Illinois and attended Michigan State University, where he received a Broadcasting degree. While attending Michigan State, Carl became the first football player (non kicker) to receive first team All-Big Ten honors three consecutive seasons. A consensus All-American his senior season, Carl was the #3 overall player chosen in the 1984 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. Throughout his distinguished 12-year career, Carl was a key contributor to the Giants two Super Bowl victories in 1986 and 1990. In Super Bowl XXI, Carl was voted defensive MVP for his stellar performance that included more than 13 tackles. In 1988, the Washington Post named Carl “Defensive Player of the Year”, he was also named to the All-NFL FirstTeam and made first team Pro-Bowl selection.
While in New York, Carl began to utilize his education in various areas of interest. Carl hosted a post-game show on WNEW Radio during the football season.
Carl’s interest in fashion and his professional football career proved to be another winning combination. He recognized a lack of adequate apparel sizes to fit him and his teammates, which resulted in designing outerwear for several teammates and friends in the NFL. In 1992, Carl joined the team at GIII Apparel, where they created a long-term plan for their newly formed licensing division to be consistent with GIII’S overall vision as a company. In 1996, the GIII/Carl Banks line joined the exclusive $1Million club at NFL PROPERTIES, a club exclusive for licensees who pay the NFL a minimum of $1Million in royalties. In 2002, GIII Apparel became one of only four exclusive licensees for NFL Properties and, in 2003, they were granted similar exclusive rights from NBA properties.
Carl currently serves as a TV and Radio analyst for New York Giants Radio Network, and a partner with HSN. In addition, he provides analysis for Sirius NFL Radio and WFAN throughout the year. He is also President of the GIII sports apparel firm, and is an endorsee of the Starter athletic brand.
