New England Patriots wide receiver Javon Baker made one of the best highlight reel plays of Sunday’s training camp practice. It was an over-the-shoulder catch against undrafted rookie corner Mikey Victor.
Baker is looking to have a big role in the Patriots offense this season. Along with fellow rookie wideout Ja’Lynn Polk, he was drafted to help add playmaking ability and depth to the wide receivers’ room. Baker is coming off a season at UCF that saw him record 52 catches for 1,139 yards and seven touchdowns.
He was able to clear Victor and take a nice route to the football while tracking it and ultimately hauling it in for a catch.

Baker is beginning to come alive at training camp. Hopefully, he can parlay that into creating a role for himself on offense right out of the gates.
