We also ran a fake punt that was basically a power sweep w/ him carrying the ball. Seems like every time we ran it it went for really big yardage. One of the first really big plays he made for us was early in the year at UNO, he ran that fake and hurdled a dude w/o breaking stride en route to the end zone on a 50 some odd yard run. I about choked on the pizza I was eating while watching that as I didn't know who he was at the time beyond his name and that he'd transferred in for a year from Delaware IIRC. He did it again for similar yardage and a score sans the hurdle against Mowest in the playoffs, sparked a big 2nd half rally for us. Had good hands too, made a lot of plays for us.

IDK about the pros as I'm talking about D2 here but he's a freakish athlete. I wouldn't mind the Chiefs giving him a look.

Baker was a wrecking crew for NWMSU that year. He basically single-handily willed us to victory at TAMU-Kingsville in the playoffs.
