There is no information about Chris` parents and early life; regarding his education, he went to Logan High School, where he played football but also was a baseball player and wrestler, as well. He played in the tight end position, and caught 45 passes for 625 yards, and as a defensive end he had eight sacks and a number of tackles. When it comes to wrestling, Chris was also successful, recording a 54-0 record to win the state championship and All-America honors.
After matriculation, Chris enrolled at Utah State University, where he continued with football, and became one of the best players in his class. He amassed 95 receptions for 1,255 yards, and for the 2003 season was the leader in receptions by a tight end in the NCAA.
After college, Chris entered the 2004 NFL Draft, in which he was selected as the 81st pick overall by the Washington Redskins. For the next nine seasons, Chris played for the Redskins; in his first season he played in all 16 games – starting in nine – and recorded 37 receptions for 314 yards which was enough to make six touchdowns. The second season was his breakout one, as he started in all 16 games and had 774 yards from 71 receptions, and recorded seven touchdowns. He continued successfully in the next three years, with over 700 yards in each of them, and setting his own record for 849 yards from 83 receptions, and having eight touchdowns. Thanks to his great performance, Redskins offered him a contract worth $30 million over six years in 2007, which significantly increased his net worth.

He managed to recover and in 2010 posted his best career figures, recording 849 yards from 77 receptions, and also had three touchdowns. In 2011 he had knee surgery which kept him sidelined for the majority of the season, so he only played in five games. He spent one more season as a Redskin, playing in eight games, before he decided to retire.
During his career, Chris earned selection for the Pro-Bowl game twice, in 2007 and 2008, and is the Redskins all-time leader in receptions at tight end.
