Markus Bailey, LB, Purdue
Post Combine
Markus Bailey is the most underrated ILB in this year's draft. Dude is a Top 100 talent and my ILB6.

This is the type of plays he can make. Blitzes the A gap, but is able to turn around and range over to make this play on the screen play. He's a baller. pic.twitter.com/vCrMLaAuQb
🔊🔊Video and audio breakdown on LB Markus Bailey from Purdue. Doesn't make the tackle but he's a big reason to why this play only goes for about 3 or 4 yards. Engages and doesn't backdown from the block. Head is positioned on the outside + closes down to the sideline. 🔊🔊 pic.twitter.com/dFuIBgdQoa

#Purdue LB Markus Bailey, 6 months after tearing his ACL, had his Combine recheck, seeing #AZCardinals Dr. Gary Waslewski. Bailey, one of the country’s top LBs heading into 2019 after started 40 straight games pre-ACL, was cleared. This video of LB Combine drills went to teams. pic.twitter.com/OSblsiFKcD

Pre Combine
On the field... On the tape... I'd take these guys in the 1st round all day long.

But the injuries... And I'm no doctor so don't ask me what I think
Markus Bailey - ACL '15, ACL '19
Netane Muti - Achilles '18, Lisfranc '19
Terrell Lewis - Elbow '17, ACL '18
If you put on Markus Bailey tape from 2017 or 2018... He's easily a Top-40 player

Makes plays all over the defense, can play in space, can cover, can blitz, can spy... Tough/athletic!
14.5 Sacks, 40 Hurries
7 PBUs, 6 INTs
Nearly 300 tackles
But the injury history... https://t.co/2e0LVngvyh
Medicals at the Combine will be huge for the projections of several players leading up the Draft...

EDGE Terrell Lewis
LB Markus Bailey
OT Trey Adams
Terrell Lewis is a Round 1 talent if the medical is clean. Brutal heavy hands in combination with a athletic/loose/long frame
Senior Bowl
Learned at the #SeniorBowl Purdue LB Marcus Bailey, lost for season in week 2, won't apply for a medical redshirt and is available in the draft. No testing before draft but a positional workout is likely. Bailey was graded by scouts as #1 ILB prospect enerting the season.
