Leipzig Kings need to work on their backfield

At 1,83 m and 87 kg, just being 20 years old, Baker is expected to rejuvenate the Kings’ backfield, that previously consistet of Oliver Bahr with zero touchdowns and just 368 yards as their best rusher.

"Maurice brings speed and versatility to our backfield. I believe with his mentality and athletic ability, he will have a big impact in his rookie season. He can catch it and run it, so it will be great finding the different ways to use him in our offense,” said head coach John Booker about the young gun.
