Bailey visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame Monday with Annabel Bowlen, daughter of Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, who is being enshrined alongside Bailey. This marks the first time in franchise history that two Broncos were elected in the same class. Bailey is also the first defensive Broncos player to be voted into Canton.
