The New England Patriots selected former UCF wide receiver Javon Baker in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft. In a recent YouTube vlog series, Baker posted a video of his phone call from the Patriots on Day 3 of the draft.

It was an emotional moment for a player who had a tremendous run at UCF to earn an opportunity at the next level. He is coming off a season that saw him record 52 catches for 1,139 yards and seven touchdowns.

He was even named a First-Team All-Big 12 wideout for his efforts.
