veteran Lobos LB with a wrecking-ball edge and special-teams grit
DaQuan Baker’s most useful trait is old-school linebacker violence: at New Mexico, he was noted for working into the rotation, producing tackles for loss, a sack, and a forced fumble, while also making a momentum-swinging special-teams play that helped turn a game against Air Force in the 2017 season. He’s the kind of player who shows up in the dirty-work areas—run support, disruption, and energy—and that makes him appealing if a team wants toughness, physicality, and a tone-setter more than flash.
