In four of the last 10 seasons, the first defensive player drafted has won the award. Jets coach Aaron Glenn is not hiding his satisfaction with Bailey's energy, speed, and quickness off the edge. Bailey tied for the FBS lead with 14.5 sacks last season and could easily leave other top defensive rookies in the dust if his production carries over to the pros.
