Baker receives invitation to NFL Combine
Earlier today, The Lansing State Journal reported that junior running back Edwin Baker has been invited to participate in the NFL Combine Feb. 22-28 in Indianapolis, according to Baker’s financial adviser Richard Griffin.
Baker joins senior wide receivers B.J. Cunningham and Keshawn Martin and senior quarterback Kirk Cousins — who also received invitations earlier this month.
Announcing he was foregoing his senior year at MSU after the team’s 33-30 victory over Georgia at the Outback Bowl, Baker’s decision to enter the NFL Draft was called into question. However, with his position on the football team taking a backseat to sophomore running back Le’Veon Bell, his decision is understandable.
In his final Spartan season, Baker averaged 47.5 yards per game and finished with 170 total attempts for 665 yards and five touchdowns. One of his highlights from this season is MSU’s 28-14 win over Michigan on Oct. 15, 2011.
Baker led the Spartans in rushing with 26 attempts for 167 yards and one touchdown with his longest run reaching 25 yards.

Trenton Robinson got invited, too. If you are going to report something, you probably should report it accurately.
