Bailey Needs to Start at Wide Receiver |  Ramblin’ Fan

I love Stedman Bailey. He’s a hard worker, always humble, and appears to be a devoted father. That’s only half of the story though, because he has flashed some great plays over the last couple of years that prove he deserves to not only be on this roster, but should be starting for the St Louis Rams.
