No Tags, No Posts, TTYL: Jets Rookie David Bailey Sacked Social Media and It's Paying Off on Sundays
Bailey posted eight sacks, seven tackles for loss and four quarterback hits as the Jets improved to 2-3.
On Sunday, October 11, the New York Jets defeated the Cleveland Browns 17-12 at MetLife Stadium, with rookie edge rusher David Bailey delivering a standout defensive performance in the victory.
Bailey, a 23-year-old rookie, deleted all social media apps in Week 1 to focus on his professional development, avoiding public debate about whether the Jets made the right draft choice.
The AFC named Bailey the Defensive Player of the Week after he recorded three sacks, seven tackles, and nine pressures against the Browns. He is the seventh player in 25 years to achieve three sacks in his first five NFL games.
Coach Aaron Glenn called Bailey "relentless" and a "flame thrower" on defense, praising his discipline in ignoring external pressure to focus solely on team stability and consistent performance.
With the team improving to 2-3, the Jets face the 3-2 New England Patriots this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. on the road, aiming to build momentum from Bailey's breakthrough performance.
