Buddha Baker Obviously a gun safety. He's clearly a great defender. Just couldn't quite get the pick six over the line Anyway, this video certainly not about DK. This is about Buddha Baker. Let's give him his props Where they're due more importantly, let's roll the intro and crack into it Speaking of giving the man the props he deserves. Let's look at his stats first He's 5 10 195 pounds picked up in the second round of the 2017 draft to the Cardinals He was a first-team all-pro participant in his rookie year had a couple years off made it back in this past year three-time Pro Bowler 2017 19 and 20 he's got a 40-yard dash Recorded as 4.45 seconds a three-cone drill of 6 7 6 which is bloody elite Vertical jump 32 and a half broad jump 9 foot 7 bench press effort of 15 reps and a wonderlick score of 14 and look actually There is an external video link to Buddha Baker running his 4.45 second 40-yard dash. Let's have a look Hello, no, that's not gonna work That's right. Um, okay, so it seems the Arizona Cardinals really wanted Baker They selected him in the second round with 36 overall pick But the Cardinals to get that pick traded their second round 45th overall fourth round 119th overall and 7th round 197th overall picks in the 2017 draft to the Bears in order to move up in the second round and draft Baker with 36 overall pick so they already had a 45th overall pick But just to make sure they traded up got Baker signed him to a four-year 6.83 million dollar contract and three short years later on August 25th last year prior to the start of the season He signed a four-year 59 million dollar extension with the Cardinals making him the highest-paid safety in NFL history at the time Earning just shy of 15 million a year. Funnily enough in his 2020 season paragraph here. They do mention. They do make mention of the The the well, they call it an interception. They don't mention DK Metcalf But they do say for anyone wondering in week seven against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night football Baker recorded a team high 14 tackles and Intercepted a pass thrown by Russell Wilson during the 37 34 overtime win So there's absolutely no mention of getting chased down, but there is one Funny little statement here, and that is that Baker's mother started calling him Buddha as a baby Since his mother thought he looked like a Buddha doll and when we look at Buddha Baker's eyes You know the eyes of the thing on the human face that don't change, right? They develop in that first, you know six months to a year, but then they don't change everything else forms around it Everything else grows and you know, they grow into certain features But the eyes remain the same and when we think about Buddha Baker's eyes There really is no surprise that his mother thought he looked like Buddha Makes sense makes a lot of sense 61 total games played in four seasons in 2019. This man got over a hundred solo tackles That's incredible. He got 90 solo tackles last year So 61 games 4 4 1 combined tackles 330 solo 111 assisted five and a half sacks 20 passes deflected two interceptions for 90 return yards, which we saw most of in that play five force fumbles Four fumble recoveries and back in 2018. He took one of those fumble recoveries to the house He is an absolute tackling machine. He plays safety and his name is Buddha Baker. It's time. We have a look Him being talked about as being the best defensive player. We're gonna play against all year Look at that. Now that my friends Is a real success. I mean, let's be fair. You make it on the list. You're in the top 6% of the league You make it in the top 20. You're in the top 1% So he's leveled up certainly leveled up My position I would say Buddha Baker is That's what I would say Because he's just versatile one play. He's blitzing. He makes 15 tackles a game off the edge another play he's covering a receiver The next place covering the tight end just all around type of player that I am so much passion for the game Yeah, I would say me one of my favorite players right now in the NFL is Buddha Baker. I Think he's a very old-school player the way that he throws his body around and he doesn't use the excuse that might be the Shortest guy in the field. It's gonna be the most physical. He's gonna be the fastest guy Snapping that's why I love about him. He's just got a reckless abandonment for his body I've just seen about five different tackling techniques and I like them all Honestly, I think Buddha's the best safety in the game I mean, there's multiple times when we played on where I mean our plays were literally designed to Find Buddha and make sure that he can't run. How did he get past juicic in that first instance? We've got juicic out front we've got the running back well quite possibly the quarterback behind him now all Now all juicic really needs to do Multiple times when we well all he needs to do is get this block But Buddha Baker's got another idea I mean our plays were literally designed to Not only that but not only does he swipe past with ease but in the same motion He literally dives and gets hands on the quarterback. Look at this swipes past takes two steps and dives Puts his body on the line at the end of the day, that's what it is I like So you get a safety who's 5 10 coming up against a quarterback who's 6 6 and what you get is a main hit right in his stomach It's gonna fold them in half My favorite play was probably my first iron How tall's Andy Dalton 6 2 so really everything I just said doesn't make sense But it wasn't nice and thankfully legal hit on the quarterback T verse Now what my favorite play was probably my first I and T verse Dallas It was three by one once I see three go shallow I Take my eyes to two two's doing a shallow route as well I jumped the shallow route and pick it off Over the middle picked off intercepted by vapor at the 15 gets up and run. Definitely was my first interception So that had to be my my favorite play, but his second interception might have been the most Hang on before we watch the second interception. I need to know I need to know what happened with this fella nothing I guess the shallow route and pick it off There he is up top of your screen Gets up and run definitely was my first interception. So that had to be my my favorite play But his second interception might have been the most talked about play of the season You know, it's very long drive next. You know, they break that. I'll give him I'll give him that I don't know exactly how long the drive was but give him the benefit of the doubt see Russell Wilson Feel like he's getting ready to throw it to that running back Got a pig. I'm just running like in my nice stride And then I look up at the jumbo Tron and I see this guy coming after me by that time He was too close. He tackled me and I was going 21 plus. That's pretty fast Mind you, I've never been caught from behind How do you catch my Matter red light next thing, you know, I'm see like this so I look over and it's DK Like I pulled up After the game you're kidding me. What are they gonna do race race again? What's it gonna be faster than furious cardinal vs. Seahawk to a race to the death this story gets better and better And I was like that Buddha, but just know that little Baker got that interception and we won the game And at the end of the day it is all Wikipedia tells us Baker recorded a team high 14 tackles intercepted a pass thrown by Rossa Wilson and won the game 37 34 So I reckon we're gonna leave it at that and in the next video We're looking at a quarterback to Shawn Watson.
