Biography
Champ Bailey was inducted as the 33rd member of the Broncos' Ring of Fame in 2019—the same season he became the first defensive player in franchise history to be selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Bailey played 10 seasons with the Broncos from 2004-13 and five years with the Washington Redskins from 1999-2003. He was selected to 12 Pro Bowls during his career to tie for the third-most in history among defensive players. A member of the 2000s NFL All-Decade Team as chosen by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selectors, Bailey also was named to the Associated Press All-Pro Team five times (1st Team: 2004-06; 2nd Team: 2000, '12). In 215 career regular-season games, Bailey totaled 983 tackles (837 solo), 52 interceptions (464 yds.), 235 passes defensed, three sacks (26 yds.), nine forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries. Bailey also started 10-of-11 career postseason contests and added 34 tackles (30 solo), two interceptions (105 yds.) and 10 passes defensed. He began his career starting 99 consecutive regular-season games and made the most starts (212) among league cornerbacks during his 15 NFL seasons. Bailey's 52 interceptions were the most among NFL cornerbacks during his career (third among all players). That total included a career-best 10 interceptions in 2006, which marked the second-highest single-season total in Broncos history and propelled him to a second-place finish in the AP's NFL Defensive Player of the Year voting. In all, Bailey was a member of six playoff teams (1999, 2004-05, '11-13), five division champions (1999, 2005, '11-13) and one Super Bowl team (2013). Selected by the Redskins with the seventh overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft from the University of Georgia, Bailey played his first five seasons with Washington before being acquired by Denver in a trade on March 4, 2004.
