Ben Bailey brings veteran road-grader vibes to Southern Illinois
In the 2018 season, Ben Bailey was a full-time right tackle for Southern Illinois, starting all 11 games and helping power a Saluki offense that averaged 30.1 points per game while allowing just 1.9 sacks per game. He looks like a classic trench tone-setter: big-bodied at 6-5 and 266 pounds, durable, experienced, and reliable enough to anchor the edge without much fuss. If you want a tackle who wins with steadiness, assignment discipline, and veteran toughness rather than flash, Bailey fits the bill.
