New coach Brian Daboll on Wednesday announced Angela Baker has joined his staff as the inaugural recipient of the Rosie Brown Minority Coaching Fellowship. Baker will be the offensive quality control coach.

The fellowship is named in honor of Hall of Famer Rosie Brown, arguably the best offensive lineman in Giants history.

Shortly after replacing Joe Judge, Daboll hired Laura Young as the team’s director of coaching operations. He had worked with her in Buffalo.

Daboll also hired Cade Knox as an offensive assistant/game manager.

A former receiver, Baker spent the 2021 season at the University of Redlands as a defensive quality control coach. She also worked with kickers and punters.

In the spring of 2020, Baker spent three weeks with the Cleveland Browns coaching staff as part of the NFL’s Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship program.

Baker was a seven-time Women’s Football Alliance (WFA) All-American while competing for the Pittsburgh Passion Women’s Professional Football Team as a slot receiver. She graduated from Slippery Rock with degrees in physical activity and fitness management and a minor in coaching.

Knox spent the 2020 season with the Giants as a football data and innovation intern.
