Javon Baker
WR - New England Patriots
2024 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesJavon Baker's journey saw a significant shift after transferring from Alabama to UCF, where he stood out during his final two seasons with dominator ratings of 23% and 31%. At 6-foot-1 and 202 pounds, Baker distinguished himself as a big-play threat, leading to the second-highest average of yards per reception nationally (21.9) in 2023 and ranking fifth in yards per route run among his draft class. Often compared to DeVonta Smith for his route-running and body control, Baker adds more size and yards-after-catch ability. Drafted by the Patriots in the fourth round, he enters a team with a relatively weak receiver depth chart, positioning him as a potential standout. Despite being selected after Ja'Lynn Polk, Baker's ability to consistently make plays downfield, evidenced by his top performance in deep-target metrics, suggests a higher ceiling and the potential to become a leading figure in New England's passing attack.
