02Scheme fit
Ideal system

This back is best suited for an outside zone run scheme that prioritizes speed and agility to stretch defenses horizontally.

One-cut backOff-tackle runnerSub-package back
Best role

Year 1 contribution as a change-of-pace back and special teams contributor, with the ceiling to develop into a rotational outside zone runner.

Wrong fit

Gap/power run scheme where his smaller stature and limited power would be exposed.

Baker's speed and quickness make him a good fit for schemes that can leverage his ability to get to the edge, but his size limits his effectiveness between the tackles.
