New York Giants rookie cornerback Deonte Banks decided to go on his Instagram Live to call out the Washington Commanders for not drafting him after Big Blue beat their NFC East rival Sunday for the season sweep.
Giants legend Carl Banks took the time to call out the young rookie on social media as well.
Carl Banks, a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Giants, doesn’t mind some smack talk here and there. But the younger Banks took exception with the Commanders passing over him for fellow rookie defensive back Emmanuel Forbes at No. 16 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft.

"Coulda came and got me at 16, and they didn’t," Banks was heard saying. "Now I’m 2-0 against you bum a—boys. "F--- the Commanders…They finna see me two times a year until the end of my career. Two times a year. Shoulda came and got me."

Banks also made reference to Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin in the video, calling him out after he had five catches for 43 yards. He was the team’s third-leading receiver on the day.
"I’m just tryna figure out, though, did 17 play today?" Banks questioned using McLaurin’s jersey number.
Banks is a DMV native and went to Maryland, where he was a standout for the Terrapins.
But the Commanders went for Forbes instead, and he’s struggled since coming out of Mississippi State. He’s been benched on multiple occasions by Washington, and his 19.1 yards allowed per reception is the third-highest in the NFL.
