Expectations coming into the season:  Banjo wasn't expected to contribute on defense unless there was an injury of any type.  With Morgan Burnett and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix entrenched as starters and with Micah Hyde and Sean Richardson behind them on the depth chart, Banjo was kept on the roster for special teams purposes.  

Player’s highlights/low-lights: Banjo had one lone pass defended in the week three game against the Kansas City Chiefs.  He was so rarely on the field on defense that he really didn't have a low light or low point of the season. 

Level of Expectations met:  Banjo technically met expectations, as he rarely was needed on defense.  Still, his contributions were very minimal.

Grade: B+

Player’s contributions to team success:  Banjo stepped in during week three and "kept the roof from collapsing" while Burnett was out and without a healthy Richardson.  Other than that, Banjo was a non-factor on defense.  It's hard to give him a really bad grade here so we'll go with 'average'.

Grade: C

Player’s contributions in the playoffs:  Banjo didn't contribute anything on defense during the postseason

Grade: N/A

Intangibles/misc: With Banjo's contributions on special teams, you have to credit him for being the consummate team player.  He keeps himself in shape and ready if needed.

Grade: B

Overall Grade:  B-
