David Bailey Smiles Over Commanders Interest

At the 2026 NFL Combine, Texas Tech pass rusher David Bailey said he would play for the Washington Commanders, who are targeting him with their No. 7 pick.

The Washington Commanders, holding the No. 7 overall pick, are looking to strengthen their edge rush with a new defensive coordinator’s versatile scheme. They met with several prospects, including Bailey, at the Indianapolis combine.

When asked about Washington, Bailey smiled and said, “I’ve talked to them and I’m willing to do anything for them. Pass rusher, special teams, anything – I’m just grateful for the opportunities.”
