context_page_description: Christopher Ken Cooley is a former American football tight end who played for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League. He played college football for Utah State University, and was drafted by the Redskins in the third round of the 2004 NFL draft.
context_section_description: During the 2005 season, Cooley had a solid season as a receiver, catching 71 passes for 774 yards and seven touchdowns, including three in a game versus the rival Dallas Cowboys, breaking the Redskins franchise record for receptions as a tight end in a single season. Those three touchdowns cost Cooley his fantasy football playoff game, because his opponent had Cooley on his fantasy team.  He led all NFC tight ends in fan voting for the annual Pro Bowl with 422,314 votes, but following player and coach voting (each group had 1/3 weight), was not chosen for the position. He was named first team All-NFC by Pro Football Weekly.
