Giants taking a different tact with Deonte Banks a…
Simply being the best option on a crew starved for cornerbacks isn’t the bar that the Giants have set for Deonte Banks.
The 2023 first-round draft decide was benched Monday in opposition to the Steelers for the cumulative toll of a couple poor effort performs in earlier video games, some missed tackles and “multiple things and multiple reasons,” defensive backs coach Jerone Henderson stated.

Henderson, a former NFL defensive back, stated he feels a personal investment in Banks after visiting with him pre-draft and telling basic supervisor Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll “draft him, I want him, I love him” as a result of they may work properly collectively.
“The thing is, he has played really well in spurts,” Henderson stated. “But these different six or seven (performs per recreation) the place now, that’s all you’re judged on — these performs when the ball is at me and I’ve an alternative to make a play.
“I want to see him in those moments be brighter, be bigger. That’s why we drafted him. That’s what I know he has in him. And I want him to do it consistently and at a high level all the time.”

Banks will begin Sunday in opposition to the Commanders, Daboll stated, so it’s different therapy than the best way the Giants buried 2022 first-round decide Evan Neal on the offensive deal with depth chart or rapidly gave up on 2021 first-round draft decide Kadarius Toney (traded to the Chiefs).
