No tags, no posts, TTYL: Jets rookie David Bailey sacked social media and it’s paying off on Sundays
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets rookie edge rusher David Bailey has been making waves off the field, as he is not active on social media. The 23-year-old, the second overall pick in the 2022 draft, deleted all of his apps in Week 1 of the NFL season. Asked about his decision, Bailey admitted that he felt he spent too much time on Instagram and wanted to take a break from the platform.
Coach Aaron Glenn praised Bailey's relentless performance on the field, describing him as a "flame thrower." Bailey is the seventh player in the last 25 years to post three sacks in his first five NFL games and the first since Detroit's Aidan Hutchinson in 2022. This performance has caught the attention of fans and social media users, but Bailey remains unfazed, stating that he will reconsider using social media if he feels the need to do so.
His decision to disconnect from social media has paid off, making him a buzz-worthy topic for opposing teams.
