The New England Patriots rookie class is already making a strong impression on the veterans. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett in particular has been impressed with wideout Javon Baker.
Baker comes to New England on the heels of a productive season at UCF. He tallied 52 receptions for 1,139 yards and seven touchdowns. He was also named a First-Team All-Big 12 player. The talent is clearly there, and now it’s about translating it to the NFL.
Baker is doing just that early in OTAs. He made several strong plays in practice on Wednesday, and that caught the attention of the quarterback, who is going to be an important veteran mentor in the offense.
