Bailey also visited the Titans earlier this week. 

He’s considered among the top edge rushers in the 2026 NFL Draft and is projected to be a first-round pick. Arizona selects at No. 3, Kansas City is at No. 9, while Dallas picks at No. 12. 

Teams can host up to 30 players for interviews and medical evaluations at their own facilities, with players who live or go to college in the local area not counting toward that limit. These are often colloquially referred to as “top 30 visits” although they’re not necessarily the top 30 players on a team’s board. 

Bailey, 22, started his career at Stanford and became a starter as a true freshman. He transferred to Texas Tech for his senior year and was a unanimous All-American as well as the Big 12 defensive lineman of the year. 

NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein compared him to Broncos OLB Nik Bonitto.

During his four-year college career, Bailey recorded 163 total tackles, 42 tackles for loss, 29 sacks, 10 forced fumbles, one recovery and four pass deflections in 46 career games.
