Champ Bailey spent the first five years of his legendary NFL career with the Washington Redskins, but he said Friday no one from the organization congratulated him on his induction in the Pro Football Hall of Fame until this week.
"Nobody from Washington had called me until three days ago. Nobody," he told reporters.
Bailey, who's enshrinement ceremony is Saturday night, was announced as a member of the eight-person 2019 class in February, but said only the Denver Broncos called when the voting results were revealed.
The Redskins selected the University of Georgia product with the seventh overall pick in the 1999 NFL draft and he lived up to the hype.
