The Washington Commanders could have taken Deonte Banks on this yr’s NFL draft and the Giants cornerback made sure to remind everyone of that fact.
After the Giants’ 31-19 win over the Commanders, Banks took to Instagram live to speak some trash concerning the Landover, Maryland-based football team he had helped to simply beat.
Banks had grown up in Maryland and played college football on the University of Maryland.
“They may’ve got here and got me at [pick] 16, and so they didn’t,” Banks said. “Now I’m 2-0 against you bum-ass boys. F–k the Commanders. They think they slick. They gonna see me two times a yr until the tip of my profession.”
He added: “Shoulda got here and got me.”

Very similar to the Giants, Banks has had a few of his best moments this season against Washington.
The 2 wins against the Commanders make up a majority of the Giants’ wins this season and of their first meeting Banks recorded his first NFL interception.
On Sunday, Banks had three tackles for Recent York.
He also took the prospect on Instagram to throw shade at Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin.
“Did 17 play today? That’s all I need to know,” Banks said, referring to McLaurin, who had five catches for 43 yards.
The Commanders used their sixteenth overall pick in April on corner Emmanuel Forbes as a substitute of choosing Banks. The Giants eventually used the twenty fourth overall pick to take Banks.
The rookie corner has gone on to look in every game up to now for the Giants and played in 81 percent of their defensive snaps this season.
Forbes does have the next player grade on Pro Football Focus at 47.9, while Banks has a 43.9 grade.
Sunday’s win over the Commanders was just the Giants’ third victory all season.
The one other team the Giants have beaten this season is the Arizona Cardinals back in Week 2.
