Report: New York Giants’ DeAndre Baker slept during meetings as a rookie

Error 0:

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan stated in a recent article that it was not uncommon for New York Giants‘ DeAndre Baker to sleep during meetings in his rookie season.

Analysis: Baker’s rookie season was rocky, to say the least. At one point, he got called out in a team meeting, and his seven touchdowns allowed as the nearest defender was tied for fourth in the NFL, per Next Gen Stats. There are questions about Baker’s desire to be great. Sleeping in meetings was not uncommon. But considering he improved on the field as the season progressed, he should be better with experience.
