Broncos players and alumni salute Champ Bailey following retirement announcement

Champ Bailey is dope man. Obviously a HOF player, but more importantly he's just a dope person.

He made it easy for young guys like me to feel comfortable. Always approachable and uplifting. Not always the case with a guy of his caliber

Champ Bailey. Great teammate, great man, great career. Hope he signs a one day contract and retires a bronco!
