After an already strong spring, Giants first-round pick DeAndre Baker is continuing to make forward progress, Pat Shurmur said — something that will likely set up the cornerback as part of the presumptive first-team secondary.
“I think he’s done a good job,” Shurmur said Thursday at Giants training camp. “I think he’s like all of our rookies, I’ve seen steady improvement. Within a practice, you’ll see a screw up or two, but he’ll also make plays and be consistent in his play. We’re pleased with the direction he is going.”
Baker has had a relatively quiet training camp so far, and hasn’t been beaten too often, even with this being his first chance to flex the physicality that made him the best cornerback in college football last year.
