While the New England Patriots were hoping to bring Javon Baker back onto the team’s practice squad, the receiver-turned-special-teamer is opting for a fresh start elsewhere. Baker has reportedly signed with the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad, according to Mark Daniels of Mass Live.
Baker was a big draft miss by Eliot Wolf and the Patriots last year. The receiver was taken in the fourth round out of UCF and promised big things in his post-draft conference call with New England reporters.
“I make people in wheelchairs stand up. Bring your popcorn,” Baker said confidently after the Patriots took him 110th overall.
