Jets plot flexible, plug‑in role for first‑round edge rusher David Bailey

Jets coach Aaron Glenn downplayed Bailey’s run-defense concerns and outlined a plan to use the Stanford product as a versatile defender—outside linebacker in base packages and defensive end in four-down sub-packages—potentially pairing him with Will McDonald. Bailey, who starred at Texas Tech with 14.5 sacks, 19.5 tackles for loss and 10 forced fumbles, is focused on improving both run defense and the pass rush as he enters rookie minicamp and the Jets’ evolving defensive scheme.
