PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
In terms of scheme fit, Banks could excel in a man-heavy defensive scheme. If he can improve his route recognition, he can be a more versatile and trusted asset in both man and zone coverage.
SCOUTING REPORT
Deonte Banks is an outside cornerback prospect with an impressive combination of size, strength, and athleticism that can play in press man or zone coverage as needed. He tested off the charts at the NFL combine, proving he has the required athleticism to be successful at the NFL level. If Banks can improve his overall awareness and ability to stay in phase with twitchy receivers, he has the athleticism to become a high-level NFL starter.
