Denver Broncos:  Champ Bailey

There is a host of Denver Broncos that are going into the Hall of Fame pretty soon. There’s still a chance that Steve Atwater might get in first, but he’ll have a hard time with John Lynch, Brian Dawkins, Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed to contend with. This should open the door wide for when Champ Bailey gets the green light. Long story short there is just no way he makes it past the first ballot. He has way too many accomplishments to let that happen at this point.

The guy was a superstar for two different franchises but his greatest feats were in Denver. A 12-time Pro Bowl cornerback. Not defensive back. A cornerback. He played one of the most difficult positions in the entire NFL for 15 years and was considered among the absolute best in 12 of them. Wow. He has the numbers to back it up too with 54 interceptions and four touchdowns. Throwing the ball in his area was a bad decision even the best quarterbacks made.
