Longtime Atlanta attorney/sport agent Jack Reale was selected to present former Georgia and NFL great Champ Bailey at the Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremonies Saturday, Aug. 3, in Canton, Ohio.
Reale, a partner at Drew, Eckl and Farnham law firm, has represented Bailey throughout his professional career.
“I’m just humbled and honored to be able to be there when he goes into the hall as a first ballot (nominee),” Reale said. “He’s one of the best to ever play. It’s going to be an exciting experience for sure. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Bailey, who starred at Georgia (1996-1999), was drafted seventh overall by Washington in the first round of the 1999 draft. He was traded to Denver in 2004. He signed to play with the Saints in 2014, but failed to make the roster.
The 12-time Pro Bowl selection is set to be inducted along with former Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez, Ed Reed, Ty Law, Kevin Mawae, Gil Brandt, Johnny Robinson and the late Pat Bowlen.
The Falcons are set face the Broncos Thursday, Aug. 1, in the Hall of Fame game in Canton.
