Giants sticking with rookie CB DeAndre Baker despite his struggles

Watching and listening to DeAndre Baker this summer, no one would have reason to question his confidence.

“It still ain’t a question,” the rookie cornerback, who was selected late in the first round, said on Thursday.

At least not for him. Others, however, might be slightly less certain after he has struggled for two weeks. According to Pro Football Focus, opposing quarterbacks have a perfect rating of 158.3 when throwing at Baker. The Giants thought they were getting the best cover corner in the draft when they moved up to take him with the 30th overall pick.
