Rueben Bain Jr. - EDGE, Miami

On-Field Positives

• Good at getting into the pocket.

• Good at defending the run.

• Rushes at different body angles, shows a lot of control.

• Can keep his body low for pad leverage.

• Shows ability to get into the backfield with his speed.

• Uses his speed to get into the backfield around the ends of the offensive line.

• Good hand work to get off blocks at the line.

• Utilizes the swim move well.

• Can get his arms up for knocking down passes at the line.

Physical Traits

• 6’3, 275lbs

• Speed rusher

• Strength

• Quick footwork

• Long and rangy

Concerns

• Looking at his tape against ND he looks very productive, but not an overwhelming player.

• He is a true DE, I wouldn’t expect him to be able to be effective lining up against the middle of the offensive line.

NFL Prediction

Bain Jr. is definitely a first round talent. I believe he will be very productive almost no matter where he goes. I think a realistic and fair prediction is he could finish a season being top 15 in sacks, maybe any given year he could be top 5 or better. He showed as a freshman he can go get a good amount of sacks. I think his NFL career will be parallel to college. His sack total will vary, but he will maintain the ability to get consistent pressure.
