LB Jerome Baker

(Any idea that you were going to end up in Miami? What are your thoughts on landing here?) – “I’m truly blessed. I love the city … I’m happy to get to work.”

(Can you describe yourself as a player?) – “Versatile, tough, fast. I’m just a dynamic player. I’m the whole package, for sure.”

(Do you have any idea where you would be best suited in the Dolphins defense? Do you have a preference – weak side or strong side or anything?) – “It doesn’t matter. I’m a player that can play anywhere. I make plays, so it doesn’t really matter where you put me at. You’re going to feel my impact.”

(When you say you can make plays, give me an example. Are you talking passing game or run game or with your speed? How do you make plays?) – “First, it starts with my intelligence – my football IQ. I can dissect the plays before sometimes they even happen. We’ll start with that. I can play fast and I can also run fast. I can pretty much do it all. I can cover any tight end, any receiver. I can also run down any back.”

(Have you heard from LB Raekwon McMillan yet tonight?) – “No, not yet.”

(What are your thoughts on being reunited with LB Raekwon McMillan?) – “It feels good. It’s definitely going to feel good. I’m going to get down to Miami, get back on that field and get to work.”

(How did you and LB Raekwon McMillan work together back when you were playing in college?) – “He taught me a lot. He taught me how to carry myself to be a pro. He taught me to be a student of the game even more. I’m definitely excited to get back next to him on the same side. It’s definitely going to be fun.”

(You sound pretty confident in your abilities. Do you expect to come in here and start from scrimmage or start in the nickel package? How are you looking at your rookie season?) – “I expect to come in and make an impact. I don’t care what that is. I’m just going to make my impact. You’re definitely going to see a dynamic player on that field.”

(How much do you weigh right now and what is your ideal playing weight in the NFL?) – “I’m weighing about 232 right now. I’m going to play at 230. That’s what I’m going to play at, for sure.”

(How would you describe yourself in the locker room? Would you say that you are a leader type?) – “I’m a different type of leader. I don’t lead just vocally. I don’t lead just on the field. I lead all the way around, so I can definitely lead in all aspects.”

(Do you have any special teams experience?) – “Yes, I’ve played pretty much every special team there is, honestly.”
