NFL David Baker’s Wife Colleen Baker And Kids
Colleen Baker is the wife of the former president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, David Baker. David and Colleen exchanged vows in 1993.
By the early 1990s, David was already done with the dating scene.
Fortunately, his secretary would not give up until she set him up with one. Later, she gave Colleen’s number to David and fixed a date at a Mexican restaurant.
After a successful date, they began meeting constantly, but Baker waited six months to confront Colleen and kiss her.
When they met, David and Colleen both had already gone through one failed marriage.
David brought two sons, Ben and Sam Baker, meanwhile, Colleen brought a teenage daughter, Leyla, and a son named Michael Ray to their relationship.
Despite sharing different biological parents, all four of the children never felt distinctive towards each other and always felt as one.
Colleen adds, “We came from different interests, but football taught us to be one family team.”
Likewise, as surprising as it may sound, Colleen and David are proud grandparents of 10 grandchildren.
David Sons: Sam And Ben Baker
Sam and Ben followed in their fathers’ footsteps. David’s youngest son, Sam Baker, played for the University of Southern California.
During his time at Southern, they won 35 games in a row, an NCAA record at that time.
Moreover, Sam was a three-time All-American and was selected in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons.
Likewise, another son, Ben, competed as an offensive lineman for Duke.
His time at Duke was one that he doesn’t want to recall as they lost 22 games straight, also an NCAA record at that time.
Today, he is a senior manager of broadcasting at NASCAR in Charlotte.
