Former Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey will be the only new inductee to the team’s Ring of Fame in 2019.
The Broncos announced Bailey’s induction Monday. He’ll also be inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 3, two days after Denver’s first preseason game against the Falcons.
Bailey, the seventh overall pick out of Georgia in 1999, spent the 2004-13 seasons with the Broncos and made 12 career Pro Bowl appearances and was an All-Pro from 2004-2006. He had 908 career tackles, 52 interceptions and seven forced fumbles in 215 games.
“To see the way Champ’s career has been appreciated over the last four months — first by the Pro Football Hall of Fame and now as our newest Ring of Famer — is very special for us,” Broncos president Joe Ellis said in a release.
