ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Champ Bailey called it.
Eight years ago, the cornerback and Pro Football Hall of Fame candidate had seen an undrafted rookie -- a guy who wasn’t invited to the scouting combine and got the last contract the Denver Broncos had to offer to an undrafted player -- work through a few hours of training camp and pronounced he was “going to be here a long, long time.”
That rookie, Chris Harris Jr., is 29 now. He has been named to three Pro Bowls, he has been a first-team All Pro and he has a Super Bowl ring.
