robert martin bailey -lrb- born september 3 , 1968 in barbados -rrb- is a former american football cornerback who played eleven seasons for six teams , the los angeles rams , the dallas cowboys , the washington redskins , the detroit lions , and the baltimore ravens from 1991 to 2001 in the national football league .
bailey played college football at the university of miami and was drafted in the fourth round of the 1991 nfl draft by the rams .
bailey was interviewed about his time at the university of miami for the documentary `` the u '' , which premiered december 12 , 2009 on espn .
he was nicknamed `` beetle '' after the comic strip character .
on october 23 , 1994 as a member with the rams , bailey made the longest punt return in nfl history when he ran for a touchdown in a game against the new orleans saints .
what makes this return stand out is that every single player on the field assumed the ball was going to bounce through the end zone after the punt .
everyone , that is , except bailey , who was the only person to see that the ball never bounced out of the end zone and was lying in the end zone still in play .
he ran up , scooped the ball up , and returned it for a touchdown before anyone realized what had happened .
a broken neck against the green bay packers ended bailey 's nfl career in 2001 .
bailey works in the sports marketing business as president of rosenhaus sports .
