Kudos to linebacker Markus Bailey for making Athlon’s list of the 50 most-underrated college football players.
It’s a great accomplishment for Bailey to get some national shine after he’s only really recognized by fans and media who follow Purdue.
It’s also the kind of thing that will help Bailey get some additional attention from NFL and CFL scouts heading into his junior season. While Boilermaker fans are hoping Bailey sticks around for a senior season – something that is likely as he’s not an elite NFL prospect yet – getting on the radar of scouts now is huge for his chances of playing professional football once he graduates.
