It’s been a wild 5.5 weeks for New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker.
Last month, the 22-year-old was accused of armed robbery and aggravated assault, both with a firearm, after an alleged incident at a May 13 cookout. He then turned himself in to Miramar, Florida police and was charged with four counts of each of the aforementioned crimes.
The Giants organization told Baker to stay away from the virtual offseason program — which concluded on June 12 — while he resolved the legal matter. And this week, Baker’s fate seemingly took a turn in a more favorable direction when it comes to his innocence.
