Professional career

Bausby created a buzz prior to the 2015 NFL Draft when he jumped 37.5 inches vertically, 11 feet during the broad jump test and then ran a "wind-aided" 4.22 forty yard dash at his NFL Pro Day that took place on the Pittsburg State University campus. The Kansas City Chiefs front office then asked him to attend a second NFL Pro Day, this one held indoors, where he ran a 4.35 for NFL scouts.
