Stedman Bailey continues to pursue his NFL dream. Shot twice in the head back in 2015, he’s been adamant about making a comeback, and he took a big step toward that goal Wednesday working out at Marshall’s pro day.
Great talk with @iamSB3 at Marshall's Pro Day today.
Given what he's been through, to see him back out pursuing his NFL dreams is nothing short of a blessing.
Wish him the best in his pursuit. Check out a story w/Bailey in Thursday's @heralddispatch.

Before being shot, Bailey was carving out a nice career as a receiver with the then Los Angeles Rams. In 38 career games, including eight starts, he tallied 59 catches for 843 yards and two touchdowns, along with 46 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Bailey also returned a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown in 2014.
Likely, the diminutive receiver has an uphill climb to get back into the NFL. But it’s awesome to see him pursuing his dream after overcoming such a harrowing ordeal.
