with nmandi retiring, its time we put champs legacy and his greatness as an NFL DB into perspective as a lot of people lately are downplaying what he has done as an NFL player (i feel like the same thing is happening to ed reed as he is on his last legs).
there was a time when nmandi was considered the premiere shutdown corner over champ, then darelle revis, now richard sherman, every year or two it changes to the next big thing. champ has been to 12 pro bowls, 3 time first team NFL all pro, 52 career INT's and over 800 tackles, and one of the best years by a cornerback EVER in 2006.
anyone else somewhat concerned that when we collectively look back at champ baileys career down the line, people will remember his injury riddled years and playoff game against BAL more then they will remember his pure dominance? i definitely dont want that to affect his hall of fame eligibility either.
