Entering his sixth season with the Washington Redskins, Chris Baker is coming into his own as a player and as a family man for his baby daughter.
Chris Baker waited anxiously at Reston Hospital Center. Hours later, on this early Thursday morning in January, his Washington Redskins teammates would be preparing for their playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The defensive lineman was not going to be there.
His wife, Jamila, was ready to give birth to their daughter, Aria, and Baker was not going to miss it.
