Deonte Banks didn’t act like big man on campus surrounded by lower draft picks, undrafted free-agent signings and dozens of rookies.
At this time last year, Banks wasn’t even on the Giants’ radar, general manager Joe Schoen admitted. Banks was coming off a shoulder surgery that ended his 2021 season at Maryland after two games.
Banks’ first-round status was solidified during a superior showing at the NFL Scouting Combine, but he had scouts buzzing when he held Ohio State’s Harrison — who would’ve been the first receiver picked in the 2023 class had he been eligible — to five catches for 68 yards on Nov. 19.“I feel like there’s no pressure on me,” Banks said. “I’m just ready to work.”
“I’ve been told — kind of making comparisons — Jalen Ramsey, Patrick Surtain, Jimmy Smith, people who kind of got my size and my traits,” he said, mentioning three of the best in the last decade. “They all come down inside with their own thing. None of them are scared, either.” The elder McGaughey played safety at Houston — just like Owens — but they hadn’t really had a conversation until this weekend.
