There are cornerbacks with better stats. There are cornerbacks who had better showings at their pro days and the Combine.
But as far as DeAndre Baker is concerned, there is no cornerback who is better than him. Not in this draft.
The Giants agreed.
That’s why they traded up to the 30th overall pick to select him out of Georgia.
“Nobody’s game film can match mine, nobody’s production can match mine,” Baker said. “The Giants knew that, and they took me with the 30th pick.”
Baker was so dominant that he allowed just one touchdown reception his entire career at Georgia, and none in the past two seasons.
