In addition, they had caught three passes of more than twenty yards in the game, resulting in twenty-three first downs. At the end of the season, he averaged 8.5 yards per catch.

In 2005, he had a breakout season as a receiver, catching 71 passes for 774 yards and seven touchdowns, three of which came against the Dallas Cowboys, breaking the Redskins franchise record for tight end receptions in a single season. Because Chris was on his opponent’s fantasy football team, those three touchdowns cost him the fantasy football playoff game.

With only three receptions in the first two weeks, he seemed out of place in the new offensive scheme, but he grew into an important part of the Redskins offense in the weeks that followed. He had slightly lower numbers than his sophomore season, but he was still one of the game’s best tight ends.

He broke Jerry Smith’s Week 1 record of 421 receptions against the New York Giants and became the Washington Redskins’ all-time leader in tight end receptions with 422 catches. In Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys, he filled in for Darrel Young and Mike Sellers, who were both injured, and played fullback for the first time in his career. He broke his finger against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. On October 25, 2011, he was formally placed on injured reserve after his knee was examined again by his doctor.
