The New York Giants have made notable enhancements to their defense this season, prominently drafting Deonte Banks, a cornerback from Maryland, in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.
Banks is poised to play a substantial role alongside veteran corner Adoree Jackson. As Jackson, the team’s primary cornerback, is in the final year of his contract, Banks will have an excellent opportunity to hone his skills at the CB2 position.
Banks, who achieved the highest athleticism score among cornerbacks in this year’s draft class, also boasted the third-highest score over the past decade for the position.
