"Boyz N The Hood" was released in & #39;91, which means it likely took place in 1989-1990. If that was Ricky& #39;s senior year, he would& #39;ve been a freshman or redshirted in 1990-1991.
So we can assume he would& #39;ve "graduated" and left for the NFL Draft in 1995 at the latest...

...We can also assume Ricky would& #39;ve been a Top 5 pick (bc why not?)

And in that draft, the first RB taken just happened to be the #1 player overall, Ki-Jana Carter from Penn State. And he went to who?

The Cincinnati Bengals.

That should& #39;ve been Ricky Baker& #39;s spot. He should& #39;ve been #24 for the Bengals.

Even if they didn& #39;t take Ricky, the next RB& #39;s weren& #39;t taken until 17, 18, and 19 by the Giants, Raiders, and Jaguars.

The Raiders could& #39;ve taken the LA kid at #18 instead of the hometown kid in Napoleon Kaufman. Idk...

I obviously dove way too deep into this "What if Ricky Baker never got shot" simulation https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">
