Deonte Banks isn’t answering big questions in pivotal Giants camp battle
NY Post
Russell Wilson threw one of his trademark moon balls, a deep shot to Beaux Collins — an undrafted free agent who is a roster long shot — in the left corner of the end zone during 11-on-11s midway through Tuesday’s sweltering Giants practice.
Except this time, Wilson underthrew it.
Deonte Banks, who was covering Collins, didn’t realize, though. How could he? He never turned his head around to locate the ball, one of the baseline fundamentals for any cornerback when the ball is in the air.
Banks subsequently plowed through Collins as he tried to make a contested catch and was flagged for an obvious pass interference. Banks even decided to celebrate what he thought was a pass breakup before realizing he had committed the penalty.
Then after practice, Banks again failed to meet the moment. Speaking for the first time this training camp, what Banks — entering his third season with the Giants, who drafted him in the first round in 2023, and battling Cor’dale Flott to keep his starting job — didn’t say was just as revealing as what he did say.
There was not exactly a sense that he is playing with something to prove.
