Former Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio on Saturday evening.
Bailey, 41, was selected by the Redskins in the first round of the 1999 NFL draft out of Georgia. He went on to play five seasons in Washington, D.C. before Denver traded running back Clinton Portis to the Redskins in exchange for the cornerback.
Bailey then played the final ten years of his career with the Broncos before retiring with 12 Pro Bowl nods on his resume, the most by a defensive back in NFL history. Bailey was a three-time first-team All-Pro selection and a four-time second-team All-Pro selection.
In 2006, Bailey led the league in interceptions (10) and was a finalist for the Defensive Player of the Year award. He is a member of the NFL’s 2000s All-Decade Team and a member of the Broncos’ 50th Anniversary Team.
Bailey totaled 785 tackles and 52 interceptions during his career.
