New York Jets’ general manager Darren Mougey forsøgte at nedtone betydningen af, at holdet aflyste et planlagt besøg med edge rusher David Bailey i forbindelse med NFL-draften. Bailey selv afviste onsdag at tillægge aflysningen stor betydning og fremhævede i stedet en tidligere positiv oplevelse med Jets.
Mougey har endnu ikke oplyst årsagen til aflysningen, men understregede, at der kan være mange grunde til, at hold fravælger at invitere spillere til såkaldte top-30-visits. Disse besøg giver spillere mulighed for at møde trænerstaben og få en dybere indsigt i holdets struktur.
Bailey, der spillede for Texas Tech sidste sæson og registrerede 14,5 sacks, udtalte til SNY:
"De aflyste mit 30-visit, så jeg kunne ikke komme rundt på faciliteten og få en grundig samtale med hele staben. Men jeg havde en rigtig god oplevelse med dem ved NFL Combine, og vi har haft flere FaceTime-opkald siden da."
Jets’ valg mellem Bailey og Ohio State’s edge rusher Arvell Reese ventes at blive det første store valg torsdag aften under draften. Valget ventes at have stor indflydelse på resten af første runde, da Jets har stort behov for at styrke forsvaret.
