Roland Bailey


Roland Bailey came into the NFL as a 1999 first round selection by the Washington Redskins. He will forever be known as "Champ". His bust in Canton will give both names.

Bailey's career came to an end last week when he announced his retirement after 15 seasons, including 12 selections to the Pro Bowl. He was one of the greatest cornerbacks ever, but was released by the Denver Broncos during training camp.

He tried to catch on with several other teams, but there was always someone younger and with more potential. Bailey could have rode into the sunset after last year's Super Bowl loss to Seattle, but he wanted one more season. It didn't work out for him.
