Giants news, 5/13: Deonte Banks, schedule overview, underdogs in Week 1, more headlines

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

Giants’ first-round pick Deonte Banks has a ‘ton of humility,’ and talent

Deonte Banks, the college student, has not let one important thing fall by the wayside: His degree from the University of Maryland.

Terrapins football coach Mike Locksley told Big Blue View in an exclusive phone interview that that story has not been “talked about or told enough.”

“Here’s a guy that is a first-round pick, 24th pick in a draft, but two days ago he’s down in our study hall facility, finishing up his degree,” Locksley said.
