SCOTTSDALE, AZ – The toughest part about being sidelined with an injury is seeing your brothers and teammates battle on the field without you, but Adrian Baker was able to see a lot of positive in 2016.
The junior defensive back tore his ACL during spring practice, forcing him to miss the entire 2016 season, including Clemson’s championship run. However, all was not lost for Baker.
Baker told TigerNet during Clemson’s Fiesta Bowl media day that while he did miss playing, the injury allowed him to be home for the birth of his daughter – a moment he wouldn’t want to miss for anything.
