Following a 31-19 upset victory over the Washington Commanders in Week 11, New York Giants rookie cornerback Deonte Banks, who gave up a late touchdown, posted an NSFW rant on his social media accounts.
In it, Banks lashes out against the Commanders while taking aim at wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who was limited to five receptions for just 43 yards in the game.
“Coulda came and got me at 16, and they didn’t. Now I’m 2-0 against you bum (expletive) boys,” Banks said in the video. “(Expletive) the Commanders. They think they slick. They finna see me two times a year until the end of my career. Two times a year. Shoulda came and got me.
“I’m just tryna figure out, though, did 17 play today? That’s all I want to know. Did he play today? I just wanna know if he played.”
Banks, who was born and raised in Baltimore before playing college ball at Maryland, is still clearly sour that his hometown team passed him up in favor of Emmanuel Forbes.
Giants legend Carl Banks, who fully supports the rookie’s swag, says Banks needs to love the team he’s with and keep the rest off of social media.
“Love the one you with,” Banks wrote on X. “Be Giant. Save that (expletive) for Thanksgiving dinner with the fam, not the social media.”
No problem with his swagger. In fact, I love it.. but everything ain’t for social media.. he gave up 2 scores BTW. https://t.co/liGJN8ap1Y

Banks, who recorded his first career interception in Week 7 against the Commanders, has outplayed Forbes so far this season but has fallen off a bit in recent weeks.
