Bailey Smiles at Commanders Question

At the 2026 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey displayed enthusiasm about potentially joining the Washington Commanders. When asked about playing for Washington, Bailey smiled and said, "Yeah, I've talked to them and I'm willing to do anything for them. Pass rusher, special teams, anything, I'm just going to be grateful for the opportunities."

Bailey, an All-American with 12.5 sacks last season, is among the prospects the Commanders have met with. With Washington holding the No. 7 overall pick and needing help at edge rusher, Bailey is often mentioned as a possible target in mock drafts.
