An arrest warrant was issued for New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker—as well as Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar—following accusations that the two players were involved in an armed robbery in Miramar, Fl. on Wednesday.

However, Baker's attorney, Bradford Cohen, says that his client his innocent:

“I want to thank @miramarpd for being professional in regards to surrendering and issues with the case,” Cohen wrote in an Instagram post regarding the Giants talent, via Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com. “We understand that the officers can only base warrants on what was told to them at the time. We have had affidavits from several witnesses that also dispute the allegations and exculpate our client. Our investigator has had them for some time. We would have rather presented them to the court at the proper time, rather than in the media, but in this day and age, people rush to judgment. Where some seek publicity, we seek justice. I look forward to moving this case forward to proper conclusion, as we believe our client is innocent of any charges.”

The Giants talent is facing four counts of armed robbery with a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm.

The 22-year-old has not yet turned himself into authorities, but his legal team has acknowledged being in contact with the authorities.

Cohen added that he has seven affidavits “exonerating my client and video evidence.”

Baker, who played his collegiate football at the University of Georgia, was originally selected by the Giants in the first round (30th pick overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.

He played in every game during his rookie campaign, registering 61 tackles and eight passes defended.

The Giants have said they are aware of Baker's situation but would not comment any further.
