Deonte Banks: I knew the Giants were going to take me if I was available

Deonte Banks met with the New York Giants many times through the pre-draft process. They took him out to dinner. He met with the coaches at the facility and followed up with defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson the following week. He also met Henderson in the meeting room.

So as Banks started to slip in the draft, he knew there was one spot that he would not get past.

“I already knew if I made it to 25, it was going to be the Giants,”Banks said on Thursday night. “I already knew.”

But he did admit he didn’t think it was all that likely he would be there.
