Banks played college football at Michigan State University, where he was a standout for the Spartans, showcasing his defensive prowess and leadership on the field. His impressive college career led to him being selected in the first round of the 1984 NFL Draft by the New York Giants, where he would go on to become a key figure in one of the most dominant defenses of the era.

Banks spent the majority of his NFL career with the New York Giants, playing for the team from 1984 to 1992. During his time with the Giants, Banks was an integral part of the team's defense, known for his ability to stop the run and his versatility in pass coverage. He played a crucial role in helping the Giants win two Super Bowl championships, in Super Bowl XXI and Super Bowl XXV. His performance in Super Bowl XXI was particularly memorable, as he recorded 10 tackles and was a key factor in the Giants' victory over the Denver Broncos.

After his successful tenure with the Giants, Banks went on to play for the Washington Redskins in 1993 and the Cleveland Browns in 1994 and 1995. Although his time with these teams was shorter, Banks continued to demonstrate his skills as a reliable and experienced linebacker. Over the course of his 12-year NFL career, Banks earned a reputation as one of the most consistent and hard-working linebackers in the league, finishing with 39.5 career sacks and numerous accolades for his defensive contributions.

Following his retirement from professional football, Carl Banks transitioned into a successful career in broadcasting and business. He has worked as a commentator for various sports networks and has also been involved in the fashion industry, launching his own line of sports apparel. Banks' legacy as a player, particularly his contributions to the Giants' Super Bowl-winning teams, has solidified his place in NFL history as one of the great linebackers of his era.
