Boss Bailey – Denver Broncos Player Bio

Name: Rodney Bailey Height – Weight: 6’3″ – 235 Position: Outside Linebacker Age – Experience: 28 – 6 College: Georgia

Rodney “Boss” Bailey joined the Denver Broncos via free agency in 2008 and is approaching his first season with the club. He is famously known as Champ Bailey‘s little brother, a name that sticks with him even in public appearances. Bailey is slated to start at strong side linebacker for the Broncos in 2008, but has concerns regarding injuries and on-field performance.

The Good: Bailey is an athletic freak of nature (it must run in the family). He has all the size, speed, and tenacity you hope for in a linebacker.

The Bad: Injuries have sidelined him several times over, and he was inconsistent when on the football field in Detroit. His rookie year was his best as a pro (16 starts and 88 tackles) – perhaps a fresh start will ignite that fire again.

Status: Starter, signed through 2012. Bailey has the edge at SAM – but two questions really surround the former Bulldog. First, can he stay healthy? Second, were his inconsistencies in Detroit an indication of his own lack of effort, or the general state of the Detroit Lions? Bailey has appeared in 58 games (starting 51), posting 258 tackles (188 solo), 7 sacks and 2 INTs. He was born on October 14, 1979.

So now we invite you, the reader. Is Bailey the answer at SAM, or do the inconsistencies and injuries cause you too much concern?
