Defensive Tackle
No. 76
Kansas
"Bailey was acquired from Baltimore on the eve of the 1975 draft in exchange for the Jets' fourth pick. A durable player with good strength, he started the first two games of '75 at right tackle. Jim was a reserve lineman until the final three games, then started at right end for the injured Richard Neal.
He has played in 70 consecutive games in the NFL, and started every game in 1972 and 1973 for Baltimore and seven games in 1974. Jim was drafted second by the Colts in 1970 but knee problems sidelined him as a rookie. The problems returned in early 1971 before he earned before a starting role at mid-season.
In college, Jim did not become a regular until his senior season at Kansas, when he led the Jayhawks in tackles. He was a three-sport high school standout in football, track and wrestling. His hometown is Lawrence, Kansas."
