Stedman Bailey is returning to his alma mater, West Virginia, to serve as a graduate assistant for their football team. The Rams waived Bailey this past spring. While this will allow Bailey more time to recover from gunshot injuries he suffered to his head, it also gives him an opportunity to complete his degree in multidisciplinary studies.
Bailey was a popular fan draft pick in 2013 when the Rams selected him in the 3rd round after already selecting Tavon Austin, his college teammate. During his time with the Rams, Bailey had 59 catches for 843 yards, two receiving touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, and one of the most memorable punt return touchdowns in recent memory.
