Swaggy. Big Swaggy. Big Bake. Big Daddy.

Those are just four of the many, many nicknames that are attached to Washington Redskins defensive lineman Chris Baker.

How exactly can one guy get so many different names?

Some were self-appointed, and some were given.

"My good friend down John Walker down in Baltimore, he gave me the name 'Swaggy' when we were playing a video game, and I came to the locker room and kept calling myself 'Swaggy,'" he began. "And I think a reporter heard it, and the next thing you know there was an article up and it was called 'Chris Swaggy Baker.' Ever since then it's pretty much stuck with me."

That swag, of course, has translated to the field as well.
