DeAndre Baker might not have known it at the time, but he arrived at a significant fork in the road about two months ago.
If he had gone one way, he might never have come back. Fortunately for the Giants, Baker went the right way.
It’s a small sample size and there’s no such award, but Baker is on his way to being the unofficial Comeback Rookie of the Year for the Giants.
The 22-year-old rookie cornerback the Giants drafted in the first round with the 30th-overall pick last spring looked like a disaster earlier this season.
