Former UGA football star and Jim Thorpe Award winner Deandre Baker was recently accused of armed robbery in Florida nightclub.
Deandre Baker had a legendary UGA football career. The cornerback from Miami, Fla. rarely allowed a touchdown, which is why he earned the Jim Thorpe Award and consensus All-American honors as a senior in 2018. The great career earned Baker a first-round selection by the New York Giants in the 2019 NFL Draft.
When Deandre Baker was in the news, it was usually for something positive.
