David Bailey is signed, practicing for the Jets and providing a blast from the past for Aaron Glenn

For comparison's sake

Having the same jersey number as your coach is one thing, but cornerback D'Angelo Ponds drew immediate comparisons to Glenn when he was drafted by the Jets in the second round for his skills, style and stature. The 5-8, 182-pound Ponds was a physical ballhawk at Indiana and the TV broadcast used Glenn as a player comparison when Pro Football Hall of Famer Curtis Martin announced the pick for the Jets. In a video from the draft room shared by the team, Glenn was seen smiling at the mention. “It makes me proud that when people see him and they say (that),” the coach said. “I mean, I wish people looked at me and said I played like him because, heck, he’s a damn good player.” Ponds, who had five interceptions — including two returned for touchdowns — in two seasons at Indiana, could see significant playing time as a rookie in the Jets' secondary as a potential nickel cornerback. “I'm my own person," Ponds said of the comparisons to Glenn. "And I'm just trying to make a name for myself.” \\\_ AP NFL:
