Former NFL Defensive Lineman Thinks Rueben Bain Jr. Will Get a GM Fired

The 2026 NFL Draft is just over two weeks away. While his exact draft slot is yet to be determined, Rueben Bain Jr. will hear his name called when the first round takes place on April 23.

The question is, how high will the former Miami Hurricanes pass-rusher be drafted? Top-3? Top-5?

Or will he slip outside of the top-10 picks? Most assume he’ll be a top-10 pick after recording 9. 5 sacks and earning first-team All-American status in 2025.

However, some are still very critical of Bain developing into a superstar at the next level. While the film shows an explosive, extremely bendy pass-rusher who can create leverage with ease, many are concerned about his ‘short’ arms that measure under 31 inches. Former NFL defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko has been among Bain’s biggest critics.
