Florida Football QB/REC Duo No. 7: Chris Leak and Dallas Baker

  • Chris Leak: 2003 – 2006 (11,213 career yards passing, 88 touchdowns)
  • Dallas Baker: 2003 -2006 (2,236 career yards receiving, 21 touchdowns)

As noted earlier, Chris Leak had better career numbers throwing to Chad Jackson. And while we are trying to focus on careers rather than one-season wonders, you can’t tell the story of the Florida Gators without including Chris Leak and Dallas Baker.

Baker had 60 receptions for 920 yards, and the duo led Florida to the 2006 BCS National Title.

What makes this duo tough to rank is that beyond the Southern Miss, Kentucky, or Vanderbilt games that season, Baker didn’t top 100 yards in any other game.

He did, however, catch a touchdown in nine of Florida’s 14 games that season, including one in the National Title game against Ohio State.
