David Bailey Fantasy Stats

Texas Tech University edge rusher David Bailey has been busy with visits ahead of Thursday's NFL Draft. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, Bailey has visited with the Tennessee Titans, Washington Commanders, Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys, and Kansas City Chiefs. Of those five teams, Arizona picks earliest at No. 3 overall, but there have been rumors suggesting they could trade their selection to the Chiefs, who are also interested in Bailey. It makes sense that there's a lot of interest, as Bailey was the Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year in 2025 with 52 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. Even if he doesn't get selected third overall, he is one of the top prospects in the draft and won't fall too far.

The New York Jets had all the information they already needed on Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey and felt there was no reason for a pre-draft visit, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Bailey was supposed to have a top-30 visit with the Jets, but the team canceled the meeting. The 22-year-old is the leading candidate to be the second overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft by the Jets, although Ohio State edge rusher Arvell Reese could also be in play. Bailey was an absolute beast last year for the Red Raiders, tallying 32 solo tackles and leading the Big 12 in tackles for loss (19.5) and sacks (14.5) in 14 games played. In his first three collegiate seasons at Stanford, Bailey had 14.5 sacks in 32 games played. Both Bailey and Reese would immediately help a Jets pass rush that ranked second-to-last in 2025 with only 26 total sacks in 17 games.
