Deandre Baker has maintained his innocence since being accused of robbing people at gunpoint at a party last week, and the New York Giants cornerback submitted his plea accordingly on Tuesday.
Baker has pleaded not guilty to all eight charges he is facing related to the alleged armed robbery, according to ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe.

Baker and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar have been accused of robbing victims at a party in Florida of expensive watches and cash and making a getaway in luxury vehicles that were waiting outside the party. Baker’s attorney said Monday that his client and Dunbar are the victims of an obvious “shakedown” and that witness testimony will prove it.
The Giants have asked Baker to stay away from virtual meetings and workouts for the time being, and the 22-year-old apologized to the team for becoming a distraction.
