Aside from the buzz about Darren Waller and now Jalin Hyatt in training camp, there is probably no topic of greater interest among New York Giants fans than the team’s two cornerback draftees, Deonte Banks and Tre Hawkins III. That Banks would draw attention is no surprise, being a first-round pick. Hawkins on the other hand was an afterthought, a sixth-round pick many of us had to look up when his name was announced but who has surprised with excellent play thus far.
The development of Banks and Hawkins matters a lot for the Giants’ playoff hopes in 2023.
