In a routine move in the NFL, New York Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has relinquished his jersey number, No. 3, to newly signed quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson, a seasoned player with a decade of Pro Bowl appearances, expressed gratitude on social media for the gesture. Banks has opted for the number 2 for the coming season, igniting conversations regarding the potential selection of quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the upcoming draft, especially as he wears No. 2. This pick could significantly alter the Giants’ quarterback landscape, with both Wilson and Jameis Winston currently on the roster.

Banks’ decision highlights a common practice among players when a new quarterback arrives. With the Giants holding the No. 3 pick in the draft, speculation abounds whether they might choose Sanders, who has established impressive collegiate records. The Giants' ongoing quarterback dilemma could lead to further changes in Banks' jersey number before the draft concludes.
