ATHENS http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/gardner-minshew-ii-jersey , Ga. (AP) — Deandre Baker proclaimed himself to be the best cornerback in the NFL draft after using Georgia’s pro day to improve his time in the 40-yard dash.Baker posted two unofficial times of 4.46 seconds in the 40 on Wednesday. He was timed at 4.52 seconds in last month’s NFL combine in Indianapolis.Most projections have Baker being selected in the first round in the NFL draft on April 25. Baker, who won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back, wants to be the first cornerback taken in the draft.“I know I’m the best cornerback in the draft,” Baker said. “I don’t just believe it, I know I’m the best.”Baker (5-11, 185) had seven career interceptions, including two as a senior in 2018. He broke up 12 passes last season and said his career backs up his proud boast.“My film speaks for itself,” he said. “My stats, everything. My production, week in and week out. You go back to 2017 or the first day I started I was the best cornerback in the nation.”Asked if NFL teams have backed up his claim to be the top cornerback in the draft, Baker said “A lot of teams told me that.”Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff had most of his staff attend the workout, including new tight ends coach Mike Mularkey.Dimitroff, who may look for help at cornerback with one of the Falcons’ first picks in the draft, said Baker “had a really good day today.”“He’s obviously quick, fast, explosive,” Dimitroff said. “He can run, cover the field. He has very good range that way. He’s being reported as one of the best in the country in the draft.”Asked if he agrees with those reports, Dimitroff smiled and said Baker “is a very good football player.”Georgia did not release official results from the 40, bench press http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/darrell-henderson-jersey , vertical jump, broad jump and shuttle drills.Tight end Isaac Nauta and running back Elijah Holyfield had mixed results in efforts to improve poor 40-yard times — 4.91 and 4.78 seconds, respectively — posted at the NFL combine.Nauta said he was told his times on Wednesday were “mostly 4.6s to 4.7s, so I hit what I was trying to hit. … Right where I knew I could run. I feel much better walking out of here today.”Holyfield’s times were about the same as at the NFL combine.Holyfield (5-10, 217) is a powerful runner who ran for 1,018 yards and seven touchdowns in 2018. Like Nauta, he left Georgia after his junior season.“You don’t play football in a combine,” Holyfield said. “You play football where you play football, on a field.”Even so, Dimitroff said a bad time in the 40 is a factor in a prospect’s draft outlook.“Of course it’s a concern and it depends on an organization and how high you determine that to be sort of a guiding light,” Dimitroff said.One day after attending Alabama’s pro day, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick watched the Georgia draft prospects. Belichick also attended Georgia’s pro day one year ago and then selected two Bulldogs — offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn and running back Sony Michel — in the first round.Belichick was the only NFL head coach at the pro day.Wide receivers Mecole Hardman, Riley Ridley, Terry Godwin, Ahkil Crumpton and Jayson Stanley caught passes from former Miami quarterback Ryan Williams. Center Lamont Gaillard, defensive end Jonathan Ledbetter, outside linebacker D’Andre Walker and inside linebacker Natrez Patrick also worked out for scouts.Hardman was one of the fastest wide receivers at the NFL combine, running the 40 in 4.33 seconds. He didn’t try to improve that time on Wednesday.Ridley’s older brother, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley, attended the workout. It began in 2002 http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/irv-smith-jr.-jersey , back when the Rams were in St. Louis and the Patriots were a plucky underdog standing in the way of a potential dynasty.So much has changed.This hasn’t: Bill Belichick and Tom Brady.The duo, every bit as formidable now as when they won that first title, face the Rams, now back in Los Angeles, in a Super Bowl rematch of sorts that pits the NFL’s past against its future.At 32, Sean McVay is the youngest Super Bowl coach. At 66, Bill Belichick has an NFL-record 30 playoff wins.At 24, Jared Goff is the youngest quarterback to win the NFC championship. At 41, Brady will be the oldest quarterback to start a Super Bowl.The Rams (15-3) are back in the Super Bowl for the first time since that meeting against the Patriots — and for the first time as the “Los Angeles Rams” since 1980, when they fell to the Steelers. The Patriots (13-5) are back for the third straight time — they lost to Philly last year — the fourth in five seasons and the ninth since Belichick got the New England dynasty on track in the 2002 win over St. Louis.The Rams duo of McVay and Goff has spent the past two seasons heralding the coming of a new age of football — one in which McVay’s reimagined offense has dealt a blow to the old, increasingly dated adage that teams ultimately must win championships with defense. The Rams have cracked 30 points in 13 of their 18 games this season. A generation ago, that would’ve been novel; now, it’s normal.But to officially usher the NFL into a new era, the Rams will have to get past New England, which is a 1-point favorite for the game in Atlanta, set for Feb. 3 — exactly 17 years to the date of the last Super Bowl showdown, and a bit more than three months since the Boston Red Sox topped the LA Dodgers for the World Series. (Who will Magic and Bird cheer for? Stay tuned.)Is Brady up to it?Well, on Sunday, he drove the Patriots down the field for three straight touchdowns — two in the fourth quarter and once in overtime — for a 37-31 victory over the Chiefs , the only team that gained more yards than Los Angeles this season.It put an end to the dream of a rematch between two teams of the future — Rams vs. Chiefs — who delivered a wildly entertaining http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/dexter-lawrence-jersey , defense-optional touchdown-fest in a 54-51 Rams victory in November.Instead, we get a “rematch” of that 2002 Super Bowl, won by the Patriots 20-17.The Rams came into that game as a franchise on the edge of a dynasty.They were one season removed from their first Super Bowl win, led by quarterback Kurt Warner and known as “The Greatest Show on Turf” for the fake grass they burned up at their seven-year-old home in St. Louis. They had amassed what was then unheard of — 500-plus points in three straight seasons — and were a two-touchdown favorite against Belichick and Brady, who was in his second year and best known as the sixth-round draft pick Belichick stuck with after Drew Bledsoe got injured.New England used ball control, defense and a last-second field goal to topple Warner and the Rams. On the surface, the task figures to not be all that different this time around, though Brady is showing he’s perfectly capable of matching opponents touchdown-for-touchdown. Sunday’s win adds to a Week 6 victory over Kansas City by the score of 43-40.The Patriots ranked fifth in overall offense this season, only 28 yards a game behind LA.Theirs is an offense built around Brady, his mastery of diagnosing defenses at the line of scrimmage and his ability to use interchangeable parts on his offense over the years. (Receiver Julian Edelman and tight end Rob Gronkowski have stood out most recently.)And stability.Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has interviewed for jobs virtually every year since returning to Foxborough after short stints in Denver and St. Louis. He was out the door for Indy last year, but changed his mind and returned once again to call plays for Belichick.As for the Rams, they improved from 10th last year in offense to second this season, as McVay and Goff found their footing. But maybe the most telling sign of their success is that McVay’s offensive assistants are, as a group, the most sought-after sideline talent in the league. Two left after last season. Two more, quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor and tight ends coach Shane Waldron, are drawing attention this season.Now, the ultimate question: If they leave, will they do so with a Super Bowl ring?
