“He’s been training with me for 2 and a half months,” Sanchez says … who’s been working with Bailey on weight training, balancing, hand-eye coordination and explosion movement drills.

“My biggest fear was, ‘Is he mentally going to be ready and has he lost any type of functions?’ But he didn’t. He was ready to go the minute he walked in the gym.”

As far as his NFL future goes … Bailey’s trainer says, “He is physically and mentally ready, definitely ready to go right now.”
