Cardinals signed Georgia Southern CB Darrell Baker.
A sixth-year senior, Baker (6'0/190) started 8-of-10 games in 2021, notching 32 tackles, two TFL, and a forced fumble. He comes with good size for a corner and knows how to use it. Whether it’s a strike off the initial press or disrupting a receiver’s route timing, he’s not afraid to get at you. He has a keen sense of reading routes in both man and zone, and it put him in a position to make a play to break up a play. Baker tested well with a 4.48 forty, 41.5-inch vertical and 11’4” broad jump. He could end up limited to special teams work but has the football IQ and speed to carve his way into a bigger role.
