Champ Bailey Sets Cornerbacks' Record by Being Named to 10th Pro Bowl

Filed under: ,

Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey had a Pro Bowl-caliber season. Now he has the Pro Bowl berth to go with it.

Bailey was notified Thursday that he would be the replacement for Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha on the AFC Pro Bowl roster. Asomugha had to withdraw because of medical reasons.

The selection to the Pro Bowl was Bailey's 10th in a 12-year career, the most in NFL history at the cornerback position. He broke a tie with pro football Hall of Famer Michael Haynes, who had nine.

"I'm very excited to represent the AFC and the Broncos at the Pro Bowl," Bailey said in a statement released by the team. "It's a great honor to play on the same field with the NFL's best."
