Former Georgia do-it-all performer Champ Bailey will be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in the next few years but before that happens he'll have the chance to join the ranks of the SEC Legends. The league announced the 2017 class on Tuesday and Bailey will be a part of it.

From 1996 to 1998 Bailey played on offense, defense, and special teams and turned in his best season in 1998 when he had 47 catches for 744 yards and five touchdowns on offense and added 52 tackles and three interceptions on defense. He also played over 100 plays as a two-way player in seven games that season.

He was honored as a consensus All American after that season and took home the Bronko Nagurski Trophy.

The Folkston native's primary position was cornerback and he was drafted by the Washington Redskins to play that position with the seventh overall selection in the 1999 NFL Draft. He played five years there before being traded to Denver where he would play the next 10 years. He was selected to the Pro Bowl 12 times an named first-team All Pro six times.
