2015 Sam Huff Defensive Player Of The Year: Chris Baker

During the Redskins’ final game of the 2015 season, Chris Baker sacked Cowboys quarterback Kellen Moore, quickly got himself off the ground and raised both arms up, gesturing a money sign with his fingers.

It was Baker’s sixth sack of the season, a career-high, but more notable because it passed a benchmark in his contract that earned him a bonus, earning quite the celebratory response.

That helped cap the best season of the defensive end’s career, and in turn, earned him the honor of being the 2015 Sam Huff Defensive Player of the Year award winner at the 2016 Washington Redskins Welcome Home Luncheon.
