Happy Birthday Chris Horton

New favorite

Please join me in wishing Redskins rising second year safety Chris Horton a happy birthday, Chris turned 24 on Monday 29 December 2008.

A seventh round draft pick out of UCLA, Chris was by far and away the take of the 2008 draft by the Redskins. Chris played his way into a starting job by week four and though he missed two games with injury Chris still managed to finish the season with three interceptions, a fumble recovery, a sack and 53 tackles, he seemed to be everywhere around the play and the ball all season. Chris is exactly the kind of player Redskins fans want to see on the field and I hope the team manages to lock him up for the long term.

Happy birthday Chris!
