David Bailey is officially on the board.
The highly-touted first-round pick had a pretty quiet first preseason showing against the Bucs, but he was able to make his presence felt early in Pittsburgh on Saturday night.
With the Steelers lining up for a third-and-eight on the brink of field goal range, Bailey flew past OT Broderick Jones and brought down QB Will Howard for an 11-yard loss.
It was (unofficially) the first of what figures to be many sacks in his NFL career.
"It felt amazing, it was a sense of relief," Bailey told Brian Costello of the NY Post postgame. "It felt good knowing that my interior line did their job and the coverage did their job and just allowed me to capitalize."
