3 prospects Jets may have scouted closely at Texas Tech's pro day

The New York Jets sent a sizable portion of their front office and coaching staff to Texas Tech's pro day on Thursday. General manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn were among those in attendance, according to Rich Cimini. The Red Raiders have a number of prospects in the 2026 NFL draft worth scouting closely, and that begins with EDGE rusher David Bailey .

We've identified three Texas Tech players in particular the Jets kept a watchful eye on at pro day. David Bailey, EDGE Bailey is among the overwhelming favorites to be the Jets' pick at No. 2 overall.

He's arguably the top prospect who will be on the board at a premium position. Unless the Jets are willing to draft a safety (Caleb Downs) or linebacker (Sonny Styles/Arvell Reese) this early, Bailey could emerge as the no-brainer selection after producing 14. 5 sacks through first-step quickness and explosiveness last season.

Romello Height, EDGE The Jets add a mid-round pass rusher, Bailey's running mate Romello Height could be among the targets. Height was a late bloomer, as his fourth college season at his fourth different program welcomed a breakout 10-sack season in 2025. He's older and undersized, but he's also speedy and explosive.
