While attending Westmoore High School, Bajema was also a stand out baseball player, receiving interest by major league scouts.

After arriving at Oklahoma State University, Bajema switched to tight end where he played extensively throughout all 4 seasons.

An unrestricted free agent after the 2008 season, Bajema signed a three-year $2.5 million contract with the St. Louis Rams on March 30, 2009.

On the Ravens' first score of the season, Bajema went in motion prior to the snap, putting the entire opposing Denver Broncos defense off-guard and nearly single-handedly contributing to Vonta Leach's touchdown reception.
