What I like best about Bailey is his instincts and football IQ.  He's plenty athletic, but I will never forget when Purdue beat Ohio State.  He was a one man wrecking crew.  Sniffed out every misdirection play, screen, etc.  He pretty much beat Ohio State himself.  As upset as I was at the time, I wrote his name down in my "draft hopefuls" book right after the game.  

I feel really good with him as a depth contributor to this defense and a quality special teamer as well.  

For sure ! It was like there was 3 of him out there. I watched him in a couple other games that season and he was like you say a one man wrecking crew in those games as well.
