If you look at all the moves Dave Gettleman has made as the New York Giants general manager, the selection of cornerback Deandre Baker is shaping up to be one of the worst.
Now, I understand he’s a rookie and will need time to develop. I understand that there were going to be some issues, as with any first-year player. However, it’s been worse than a ton of us initially expected.
Baker has struggled mightily in coverage. When targeted, opposing quarterbacks have combined to complete 70.4% of throws for 580 yards, four touchdowns, and a rating of 130.
