Professional career

[edit]The Broncos selected McBath in the second round (48th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft.[4] On July 26, 2009, McBath signed a four-year, $3.85 million contract with $2.01 million guaranteed and base salaries of $310,000 in 2009, $395,000 in 2010, $480,000 in 2011, and $565,000 in 2012.
McBath played in 13 games during his rookie year, accumulating 26 tackles (22 solo and 4 assisted).[5] In his second game, against the Cleveland Browns, McBath intercepted a pass by quarterback Brady Quinn for his first career interception. McBath's next interception was not until Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. McBath suffered a broken forearm only a few plays later, and was placed on the injured reserve list for the rest of the season.[6] On September 4, 2011, McBath was waived by Denver.
