Deonte Banks News
New York Giants rookie cornerback Deonte Banks, the No. 24 overall pick in this year's NFL draft, had his ups and downs on the field this spring. He was working with the second-team defense at the first organized team activities open to the media, but that quickly changed. The Giants were impressed with the way he worked and moved and promoted him to the starting defense the rest of the spring. "He lives life like a goldfish. He's got a short memory when things don't go right," defensive coordinator Wink Martindale said. The Giants traded up within the first round to select the 22-year-old, and he's expected to start at outside cornerback in his first NFL season in 2023. Banks will surely have his ups and downs during the regular season, but the Giants are going to throw him into the fire right away.
New York Giants rookie cornerback Deonte Banks worked with the first-team defense during mandatory minicamp this week as a perimeter cornerback. He had his ups and downs, but the talent is clearly visible, which is why the Giants traded up into the first round of this year's NFL draft to take the 22-year-old defensive back. New York doesn't plan on taking it slow with Banks in his first year in the league, so he's fully expected to start at some point in 2023 in the Giants' secondary. How quickly Banks is able to adjust in his first NFL season could be a big factor in how well the Giants' defense fares this year.
On Friday, the Giants signed cornerback Deonte Banks to a four-year, $13.6 million, fully guaranteed contract. After playing at Maryland, the rookie was selected in the first round, No. 24 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. In his four seasons as a Terrapin, he totaled 61 tackles and two interceptions. However, Banks' experience should get him on the field plenty this season, potentially even starting immediately opposite Adoree' Jackson.
