- According to arizonasports.com, Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker feels up to speed despite his college schedule preventing him from taking part in the team’s OTAs and minicamp. “For me, I always try to watch film, watch film of the practices,” Baker said. “So I feel like I’m not really that far behind.”
- Baker was compared to fellow Cardinals teammate Tyrann Mathieu by the PFF analysis team before the draft due to his ability to line up in the slot and play safety in base personnel.
- Lining up in the slot on 293 occasions last season, Baker allowed a passer rating of just 57.4 in the slot, the second-lowest among draft-eligible defensive backs with at least 195 snaps in slot coverage.
- Baker led all draft-eligible safeties last year with a pass-rush productivity of 26.9, creating nine total pressures on 27 pass-rush snaps (PRP measures pressure created on a per-snap basis with weighting toward sacks).
