Brandon Brown: ‘Collaborative approach’ led to selection of Deonte Banks

New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown was one of the team’s front office people who helped identify eventual first-round pick Deonte Banks as a player to target during the 2022-23 scouting process.

On Tuesday, Brown described how the Giants came to the decision to target Banks, who they traded up to get with the 24th pick in the draft.

“I just loved our process with Deonte. It’s not just me; don’t just give me credit for that. I like to say our area scout (Marquis Pendleton), I mean, if you go back to September, Deonte wasn’t somebody that was on the radar.
