Former New York Giants Pro Bowl wide receiver Victor Cruz sat down with cornerback DeAndre Baker recently to discuss what the second-year defender thought of his rookie performance and what he needs to improve on in 2020.
The back-and-forth is very interesting as Cruz basically tells Baker how he would beat him (i.e. is he was a “chin” guy or a “waist” guy plus the virtues of playing press versus soft).
Baker was a mess when the Giants had him roaming out in space, playing 10-12 yards off the line of scrimmage last year, but he shaped up when asked to play press corner, which is what he was known for during his days at Georgia.
