New England Patriots second-year wide receiver Javon Baker is already hard at work preparing for training camp.
With 12 receivers currently on the Patriots’ roster, there are no guarantees that Baker will earn a spot on the team. He only had one catch for 12 yards in 2024, and that lone catch came against the Buffalo Bills in the regular season finale.

The competition at wide receiver will be much stiffer this time out with the additions of Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III in the offseason. Baker will need a strong camp to convince the Patriots to keep him on the roster.
“This [expletive] personal,” Baker posted to his Instagram story in a video of his offseason workout.
Baker appears to be heading into training camp with a clear focus on playing up to his full potential. He has shown flashes of that potential as a breakout receiving talent, but he has lacked consistency on the field.
The hope is that he matures into an explosive playmaker for the Patriots outside of the numbers. That might be the only chance he has of sticking on the 53-man roster at this point.
