Season so far
With only one game under his belt this season, it is still very early to evaluate David Bailey's overall 2026 trajectory. Bailey delivered a 68.3 replacement-level grade across 44 snaps in his Week 3 debut against Detroit. His performance was anchored by solid run defense (72.1), where he set the edge well and recorded a fourth-quarter tackle for loss against Jahmyr Gibbs. However, his pass rush lacked consistent impact, posting a 62.9 grade over 24 pass-rushing snaps and widening a passing lane on a touchdown play. Recording neutral marks on 36 of his 44 snaps, Bailey demonstrated a dependable floor against the run but needs more pass-rush production to raise his overall ceiling.
