Time flies.
Champ Bailey‘s second-youngest son, Brayden, is now a freshman in high school. He plays cornerback at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School in Atlanta, Georgia.
Does that 24 look familiar?

The 14-year-old cornerback has been getting coached up by his Pro Football Hall of Fame father:
Brayden’s number, of course, is 24:
Champ played in the NFL from 1999-2014, including a 10-year run with the Denver Broncos from 2004-2013.
Bailey’s oldest son, Keevan, played cornerback at Colorado State and he now plays at Campbell University in North Carolina as a graduate student.
Bailey’s youngest son, Beckem, is only six, so he’s probably a few years away from making headlines on the football field.
Bailey was a 12-time Pro Bowler and eight-time All-Pro during his time in the NFL. A member of the NFL’s 2000s All-Decade Team, Bailey retired in 2014 with 52 career interceptions on his resume.
As for Brayden, he and the Holy Innocents Bears have started the 2024 season with a 1-1 record. Up next is a showdown with Allatoona High School later today.
