Javon Baker wasn’t too pleased to have to wait to hear his name called until the fourth round, and the Patriots draft pick still is carrying a chip on his shoulder.
New England drafted Baker with the 110th pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. He was one of two wide receivers the Patriots selected along with Ja’Lynn Polk, who was picked 37th overall in the second round.
Baker quickly caught fans’ attention with his initial reaction to getting drafted and his explosive quote about making “people in wheelchairs stand up.” It’s fair to assume the 22-year-old wants to make the 31 other brands regret passing on him, but it looks like he wants to accomplish a lot more than just that.
