Logs one catch Thursday Baker caught one of his four targets for 12 yards in Thursday's 14-13 preseason loss to the Eagles.
Impact Baker, who recorded 24 snaps in the contest, only hauled in one of his targets, but the 2024 fourth-rounder did manage to get his hands on a couple of other throws, including a diving attempt on a deep ball from QB Drake Maye in the second quarter. Per Chad Graff of The Athletic, Baker has demonstrated boom or bust tendencies this summer, but the UCF product does have a chance to grow into a role in the Patriots' pass-catching corps as a rookie, provided he can gain more consistency to pair with his play-making potential.

Two catches versus Panthers Baker caught two of his four targets for 11 yards in Thursday's 17-3 preseason win over the Panthers.
Impact Going forward in his first preseason as a pro, Baker -- who logged 38 snaps on offense in the contest -- will continue to compete for slotting in a crowded and unsettled New England wideout corps that also includes Kendrick Bourne (knee), DeMario Douglas, Ja'Lynn Polk, K.J. Osborn, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Kayshon Boutte and Jalen Reagor. Given that the Patriots took Baker in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, his roster standing appears solid, but it remains to be seen how steady a role the UCF product -- who has reportedly made some highlight-reel plays in practice this summer -- sees out of the gate this season.

Strong training camp start Baker and fellow rookie Ja'Lynn Polk have made their mark through the Patriots' first six training camp practices, according to Evan Lazar of the team's official site.
Impact With Kendrick Bourne recovering from a knee injury that could limit him early on this season and DeVante Parker no longer in the mix, targets are up for grabs in New England's wide receiver corps this coming season. Baker -- who the team took in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft -- has made some highlight-reel plays in camp, per Lazar and the UCF product has a chance to contribute as a rookie if he can parlay his big-play potential into a steady role early on. Such an outcome appears plausible, with slotting in a WR corps that will continue to feature DeMario Douglas and also includes K.J. Osborn, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jalen Reagor and Tyquan Thornton still to be determined.
