The two went head-to-head in college, when Banks and Maryland faced Wilson and Ohio State in 2019.
The Giants’ rookie cornerback, drafted in the first round this year, has long waited for another crack at covering star Jets receiver Garrett Wilson.Banks’ Terrapins were embarrassed, falling 73-14 in one of the program’s worst-ever losses.

He’s allowed just 4.2 yards per target this season — second-best among all cornerbacks in the NFL, according to Next Gen Stats.
