PITTSBURGH -- The New York Giants benched last year's first-round pick Deonte Banks during Monday night's 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers for repeated lack of effort.
Banks was pulled in the second quarter for cornerback Greg Stroman Jr., who was elevated from the practice squad earlier in the day. The move came after Banks knocked wide receiver George Pickens out of the end zone but didn't make a play for the ball.
Coach Brian Daboll approached him on the sideline after the drive and told him of the decision.
