Why McDaniels Loves Champ

According to Stats, Inc., which tracks how often each NFL defensive player is "targeted" on a pass attempt, Bailey saw 98 targets, which was 11th most in the NFL. And Bailey did not allow a touchdown all season. No other player who saw more than 80 passes come his way allowed fewer than two touchdowns.

Well we all love Champ

I would hope you would support who we are. Not, who we are not. Coach Norman Dale "Hoosiers"

Amen. McDaniels definitely isn't the only one who loves Champ.

If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.

it really is an amazing stat

Yes he looked a bit slower this year, but to handle #1 receivers all year, get targeted 98 times and not allow a touchdown. Well warranted for his Pro Bowl bid.

I'm glad we had this talk.

I think it was 2006

But there was a year along the line where he only saw like 36 passes because teams were so scared to throw at him. And he picked off about 8 of them.

One of the GOATS

I remember that season it was the best cornerback season that i had ever seen. What amazes me even more about Champ is how good of an open field tackler he is.
