Scouting Report: Strengths

• Super athletic - Made Bruce Feldman's 2023 Freak's List at #68. He Wrote: "The 6-3, 245-pound sophomore has hit 20.53 mph in 20 yards with a 5.5 meters/second peak acceleration. The economics major also had no trouble doing a 550-pound back squat this offseason. “That dude is so fast and so explosive,” says Stanford inside linebacker Tristan Sinclair. “Whether he’s squatting 225 pounds or 500-plus, the tempo and the speed is identical. There is no strain in his face. It is pure power.”"
• Bailey shows impressive speed and overall athleticism when moving laterally in pursuit as a run defender.
• His spin move is already NFL-caliber, and Bailey displays a very good motor.
• He’s at his best in the pass rush. While he’s undersized for the edge, Bailey is flexible and twitchy, showing an explosive first step and the ability to dip and bend around blockers.
• Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
• Combines excellent power with initial quickness, but one of his best attributes are his violent hands, which he uses with impressive precision.
• He’s excellent changing direction, an agile mover who can win by countering inside and exploding with impressive burst when closing.
