Giants' first-rounder faces defining preseason moment for his future

The New York Giants have done an admirable job revamping the defensive side of the ball ahead of the 2025 season. They signed safety Jevon Holland and cornerback Paulson Adebo to help fortify the secondary. Plus, they drafted Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick to create arguably the best front seven in football, featuring Carter, Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

The biggest question for the Giants’ defense is what happens with the No. 2 cornerback spot. According to Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton, if Deonte Banks wants to keep that role, he’s going to have to prove it.
