IN 1998, THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA WAS RANKED 14TH NATIONALLY. THEY WOULD GO ON TO "SLICE" THE VIRGINIA CAVALIERS, TAKING THEIR HOME GROWN "PEACH BOWL", (35-33) IN THE GEORGIA DOME. THE '98 "DAWGS" HAD ACCUMULATED AN EXTREMELY, MULTI-TALENTED ROSTER.
THE 2025 NFL DRAFT FEATURED A TWO-WAY, "GENERATIONAL TALENT" FROM COLORADO UNIVERSITY. HOWEVER, IN '98, GEORGIA HAD A "PEACHY" JUNIOR, WHO COULD "PICK" PEACHES OR "CATCH" PEACHES FOR THE BASKET, WHICHEVER COACH DONNAN DESIRED. AS A FACT, THIS PHENOM, THIS SUPERHERO, THIS CHAMPION, THIS CHAMP, THIS ROLAND "CHAMP" BAILEY, JR, THOUGH WINDED FROM HIS CORNERBACK POSITION, FLEW OVER TO THE WIDE RECEVER POSITION ON OFFENSE, AND CONTINUED FLYING WITH A (14) YD STRIKE FROM QB, QUINCY CARTER... THAT WAS DECEMBER 31, 1998. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
THE 6 FT, 190 POUNDER, HAS SINCE BEEN LABELED, "ONE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S GREATEST MULTIPLE THREATS". (ULTIMATELY, A COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAMER). HE WOULD DEMONSTRATE HIS DYNAMICS WITH THE DAWGS FOR THREE SEASONS ('96-'98), AFTER WHICH THE WASHINGTON R**SKINS SELECTED HIM AS THE 7TH OVERALL IN THE 1999 NFL DRAFT. DC WOULD BE PARTYING, (AS THE ARTIST FORMALLY KNOWN AS "PRINCE" HAD PROCLAIMED). THAT'S BECAUSE IT WAS 1999, AND THEY HAD THAT "ALL AMERICAN", THAT "CHAMP"
GLEANING FROM AN EPIC, HALL OF FAME, DEFENSIVE BACKFIELD, CHAMP LEARNED MUCH FROM THE "IMMORTAL", DARRELL GREEN AND THE "ICONIC", DEION "PRIME TIME" SANDERS. IT WOULD TAKE HIM ONLY ONE YEAR TO REACH ALL-PRO STATUS AND BECOME NOTORIOUS AS ONE OF THE "BEST CORNERS AND "COVER CORNERS" IN THE LEAGUE". FIVE YEARS IN DC, HE BECAME A 2X ALL-PRO AND 4X PRO BOWLER BEFORE HE BECAME TRADE BAIT, AS THE SKINS WERE IN NEED OF "TURF TOTER." CLINTON PORTIS WOULD BRING HIS LEGS FROM DENVER IN EXCHANGE FOR THE "ALL-WORLD" CORNERBACK.
LOOKING BACK, IT WOULD APPEAR THE TRADE WOULD BECOME A "WIN-WIN" FOR THE BRONCS AND THE SKINS. PORTIS WOULD GO ON TO BE DC's, ALL-TIME, SINGLE SEASON RUSHING LEADER, (AT THAT TIME). THAT WOULD BE INCLUSIVE OF LARRY BROWN, JOHN RIGGINS, STEPHEN DAVIS, JOE WASHINGTON, GEORGE ROGERS, TERRY ALLEN, AND OTHER GREATS AMONG THEM. CLINTON WOULD EVENTUALLY BE SURPASSED BY ALFRED MORRIS IN 2012.
CHAMP WAS A BIG WIN. THERE, IN COLORADO, 5,280 FEET IN ELEVATION ABOVE SEA LEVEL, AND A MILE HIGH ON TURF. CHAMP WAS SEEN PERFORMING FANTASTIC FEATS FROM 2004 TO 2013. HE WOULD TOTAL (7) ALL-PRO AND (12) PRO BOWLS BEFORE HE HIT THE DENVER'S EXIT DOOR. HE HOLDS (4) NFL RECORDS, INCLUDING THOSE (12) PBs, MOST FOR ANY D-BACK IN HISTORY. THE CHAMP WAS ALSO SELECTED TO THE PRO FOOTBALL WRITERS ASSOC, ALL-ROOKIE TEAM. BAILEY PICKED (10) "DUKES" IN 2006 TO LEAD THE NFL, HE WAS SELECTED AS THE NFL 2000s ALL-DECADE TEAM, THE BRONCOS 50TH ANNIVERSARY TEAM, THE WASHINGTON COMMANDERS RING OF FAME AND THE DENVER BRONCOS RING OF FAME. HEY, HOW IN THE WORLD CAN ANYBODY FORGET, BUT MOST ALREADY KNEW, AND NOT SURPRISED, CANTON PUNCHED HIS TICKET IN THE FIRST YEAR OF ELIGIBILITY IN 2019...
