David Bailey drafted by Jets
David Bailey's selection at No. 2 overall makes him the highest-drafted player in Texas Tech history.
New head coach Aaron Glenn described Bailey as a 'transformative talent' who will be the cornerstone of the Jets' defensive front for years to come.
The rookie has already expressed his excitement about joining the team and is eager to prove he can compete at the highest level.
Bailey's arrival is part of a broader effort by the Jets to rebuild their defense after a disappointing campaign.
