De'Vante Bausby (born January 15, 1993) is an American football cornerback for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). He has also played for the Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals in his career.

Professional career

Bausby created a buzz prior to the 2015 NFL Draft when he jumped 37.5 inches vertically, 11 feet during the broad jump test and then ran a "wind-aided" 4.22 forty yard dash at his NFL Pro Day that took place on the Pittsburg State University campus. The Kansas City Chiefs front office then asked him to attend a second NFL Pro Day, this one held indoors, where he ran a 4.35 for NFL scouts.
