Bailey turned heads during his first attempt at the 40-yard dash behind a 4.51-second time. He currently paces all edge rusher prospects with the 40 time and posted the sixth-fastest 10-yard split.
He didn’t stop there, either, posting a 10-foot, nine-inch broad jump.
That was good enough for third among edge rusher prospects.

NFL Draft Combine: Prospects to watch for Cardinals
The 6-foot-3, 251-pounder has been a prospect to watch at the combine this week after pacing the FBS in sacks with 14.5. He also led the Big 12 in tackles for loss with 19.5.
On top of meeting with the Cardinals this week, Bailey was most recently mocked to the Cardinals’ No. 3 overall pick by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr.
“David Bailey provides a little bit more certainty just in terms of you’ve seen him play out there,” NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah said last week. “You’ve seen the production. I think it’s pretty easy to see that translate and is why teams are going to have him as the top guy.”
