2023 NFL Draft Preview: Scouting report on Maryland cornerback Deonte Banks

We’ve covered the Seattle Seahawks and the potential need for a cornerback across from Tariq Woolen extensively in this draft cycle. They historically don’t draft corners early under Pete Carroll and John Schneider, but you never know when a trend will be broken. In this article we are going to review University of Maryland corner Deonte Banks.

Games watched - 2022 SMU, Ohio State, Purdue, Michigan

Previous cornerback scouting reports- Joey Porter Jr., Cam Smith, Christian Gonzalez, Devon Witherspoon, Kelee Ringo, Julius Brents

Relative Athletic Score (RAS)

Strengths

  • Biggest strength - very good (7) athleticism - Banks’ long and makeup speed makes him an extremely difficult player to get over the top of on vertical routes, because he has the ability to run with the receiver step for step even if beaten clean off the line.
