What happened: Albert Breer's Tuesday notes survey the close of spring practices around the NFL. The Jacksonville Jaguars' receiver group drew positive reviews, while the New York Giants' cornerback picture — centered on Deonte Banks — is flagged as a situation to watch. The Baltimore Ravens' defensive fits and the Detroit Lions' offense also feature in the spring wrap-up.
Why it matters: Spring practice is the league's first extended evaluation window before training camp, shaping early expectations for the 2026 season. A strong offseason can reset the trajectory for a young corner like Banks, while the buzz around Jacksonville's pass-catchers points to the direction of the Jaguars' offense.
What to watch: Training camps open across the NFL later this summer, when these spring impressions face their first test in padded practices.
