David Bailey, the Texas Tech edge rusher, smiled when asked about joining the Washington Commanders, who are eyeing him with their No. 7 draft pick. Bailey said he would play anywhere for Washington and is eager for the opportunity.
The Commanders, led by new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones, are targeting versatile pass rushers to fit a scheme similar to Brian Flores’s Vikings. Bailey’s 12.5 sacks last season make him a top candidate for the team’s pass‑rush needs.
