Heading into this season, the New York Giants knew they had a void to fill at cornerback. On the opposite side of Janoris Jenkins, Big Blue once had Eli Apple, who they traded in 2018, and B.W. Webb, who they lost via free agency this past offseason. To combat the chasm, New York selected Deandre Baker out of the University of Georgia.
Baker won the Jim Thorpe Award last year for the nation’s top defensive back. However, despite what he was able to do in college, Baker hasn’t exactly translated his talents to the pros.
