Amos Jones of the Arizona Cardinals must’ve smiled when he heard the news. The beleaguered special teams coordinator hasn’t had much to be happy about in recent years. He does now however, thanks to a Cardinals rookie.
Budda Baker, the club’s 2017 second-round draft pick, will be the NFC’s special teams representative in next month’s Pro Bowl. The Cards’ safety has been a sensational gunner, making plays on a consistent basis. The selection of Baker is a ray of sunshine in what has been another poor year for Jones’ group.
The first-year player out of the University of Washington is only the latest Cardinals’ special teamer to be voted to the Pro Bowl roster.
