Deonte Banks seizing opportunity under Giants' new coaching staff

New York Giants cornerback Deonte Banks is impressing the coaching staff during training camp after being given a 'clean slate' by new head coach John Harbaugh. Banks, a first-round pick in 2023, faced challenges during his previous tenure, which led to inconsistent performances. The Giants did not exercise his fifth-year option for 2026, putting pressure on him to succeed this season. Both Harbaugh and defensive backs coach Addison Lynch acknowledged Banks' potential and emphasized his improvement in consistency and technique. While currently not a starter, Banks aims to earn a more prominent role as training progresses.
