Deonte Banks cradled two game balls under his arms as the Giants locker room hooted and hollered in recognition of his taste of success.
The much-maligned cornerback had just responded to letting up a touchdown by returning a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown in last week’s win against the Raiders.
With the flash of explosive athleticism, a question was raised: Is it possible that Banks still could turn into a solid NFL player?
Is that why the Giants continue to force him onto the field despite benchings, opposing quarterbacks singling him out for completions and lapses in effort?
