Jets safety on Tom Brady: ‘I got to play against a legend’

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had just completed 34 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns during another New England win over the Jets, but New York safety Dion Bailey wasn’t angry.

The young defensive back was still in awe of the Hall of Famer he just faced.

“It’s not frustrating, it’s exciting,” Bailey said. “I got to play against a legend and he’ll go down as a legend.”

An undrafted free agent out of USC, Bailey signed with the Seattle Seahawks in 2014 before landing in New York off waivers in late September. He played 29 snaps on Sunday after starting safety Calvin Pryor left with an ankle injury.
