Coming off a rookie year in which he mightily struggled, DeAndre Baker possessed reasons to be motivated heading into 2020. The New York Giants cornerback had a new defensive coordinator (Patrick Graham) and defensive backs coach (Jerome Henderson) to work with as well as a new teammate in fellow corner James Bradberry. The Giants acquired the veteran via free agency in March.
The new season was a chance for Baker to really prove he was worth a first-round selection. Nonetheless, an alleged armed robbery in Miramar, Florida changed everything. Having been charged with four counts of the supposed act, Baker is currently on the commissioner’s exempt list and, per a new report, is expecting to be released by Big Blue very soon.
