If he’s a day 2 pick, very likely a top 7 WR in my rankings…

One player who'll greatly benefit from @ZebraSports tracking data during @seniorbowl week is UCF wideout Javon Baker.

Prior to Mobile, biggest question NFL scouts had about Baker was his speed but then he was fifth fastest overall player (20.99 mph) at Reese's Bowl. Only WR faster was UNC's Tez Walker (21.18).

Equally impressive, Baker had third-best max deceleration of any prospect, which explains why he's such a good separator on @UCF_Football tape.

For those who don't know, Baker is former 4-star Alabama recruit who was in same famed WR room with DeVonta Smith, Waddle, Juedy, and Ruggs.

We've seen argument that if Baker had same exact college tape but with an Alabama helmet he'd be getting early-round buzz.

We fully agree with that.

Dude has a Sunday skill-set. 📈📈📈

Harris Hits: Senior Bowl Observations | Day Three

Excerpt:

UCF WR Javon Baker has been solid all week, nothing overtly stood out, but he saved his best for the last day. On a fade route in one-on-ones, he SKIED for the touchdown catch as if he was on a trampoline. When he went up in the air, there were audible gasps and a few "HOLY SH--!" comments near me. I can still see him RISING above the defensive back, snatching that fade route for a touchdown. Throughout the week, Baker did some work from the slot in addition to some on the outside and could be a name you hear in the future.

It’s not hard to see why people like Javon Baker.

4-star recruit (90 Prospect Grade).

Ideal size (6’1”/208).

Trapped behind Devonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, Jameson Williams, & John Metchie in 2 years at Bama (but did post 3.61 YPRR & a 76.3 PFF Receiving Grade on 23 routes as a sophomore).

Transferred to UCF & led them in receiving both seasons (56/796/5 & 52/1139/7).

76.3 & 81.3 PFF Receiving Grades in those seasons (2.38 & 3.03 YPRR).

Explosive (led NCAA w/ 21.9 YPR amongst players w/ 50+ receptions).

Good in contested-situations (above a 50% contested-catch success-rate every season).

Listen in on what I had to say about Javon Baker on the @TheFFdynasty podcast 🎙️

#NFLDraft2024

Javon Baker's release off the line of scrimmage is lightning fast

the footwork/twitch allows him to create separation naturally, not many WRs win vertical and can move like this off the LOS

#NFLDraft2024

Javon Baker's had the 3rd highest yards after catch per reception in 2023

it all makes sense now when you move this well laterally/vertically, you will make plays with your legs after the catch

He can be as high as my WR7 in the 2024 class

#NFLDraft2024

One of Javon Baker's best traits...

Adjusting the the football and making acrobatic plays

#NFLDraft2024

Javon Baker moves like silk

He has the potential to develop into a consistent nuanced route runner.
