"With attention on McDonald, who's logged 18.5 sacks over the last two seasons, Bailey should get one-on-one matchups and clear shots at quarterbacks if he beats his man and shows great bend on the edge."
"Bailey is coming off posting 19.5 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks in his final season with the Red Raiders, and having a defensive-minded coach like Glenn helping with his development should make the transition to the pros much smoother."
The New York Jets excelled in the 2026 NFL Draft, notably selecting Texas Tech pass rusher David Bailey with the No. 2 overall pick. This addition is expected to enhance their defense, pairing Bailey with existing strong pass rusher Will McDonald IV. Analysts believe Bailey has the potential to become a Pro Bowl or All-Pro candidate as a rookie. His impressive college stats include 19.5 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks, and with a defensive-minded coach, his transition to the NFL is anticipated to be smooth.
