Baker is expected to make a full recovery, as doctors are stating that with a stroke of this severity, full recovery is ‘a miracle’.

Baker spent most of his nine NFL seasons as a defensive tackle for the Washington Redskins. He played on Washington from 2011-2016.

He has 214 tackles and 12 sacks listed for his entire career.

This outlet covered the sudden death of ex-NFL player Jessie Lemonier just yesterday. This looks as if it could have been an equal tragedy if doctors had not gotten to Baker in time.

Below you can watch a highlight reel of Baker throughout his career. Listed at 6’2 and 333 pounds, Chris was a constant presence on the interior of the Redskin’s defensive line.

He was also notoriously ejected from a game against the Philadelphia for fighting. Baker made a tremendous hit on Eagles QB Nick Foles, causing a scrum which saw himself and Eagles LT Jason Peters removed from the game.
