The New York Giants commenced the 2023 NFL draft on a robust note. Even though they held the 25th overall pick and the general consensus indicated a lack of first-round rated players in this class, Big Blue still managed to acquire one of the finest cornerback prospects on the board: Maryland’s Deonte Banks.
Banks, an exceptional athlete, boasts the highest athletic score among all cornerbacks at the 2023 NFL Combine and the fourth-highest for his position over the past decade.
