Rueben Bain Jr. is on his way to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the No. 15 overall pick after putting together a strong junior season with the Hurricanes. He was a consensus First-Team All-American, ACC Defensive Player of the Year, and the recipient of the Ted Hendricks Award as the country\u2019s best defensive end. Bain projects as an immediate impact pass rusher for the Buccaneers at the next level, with the tools to consistently disrupt opposing quarterbacks from Day 1. Here\u2019s what else to know about Bain Jr. Stats Bain had 54 tackles (30 solo), 9.5 sacks, a forced fumble and an interception at Miami this past season. What FOX Sports\u2019 draft analysts have said about Bain Jr. FOX Sports lead draft analyst Rob Rang ranked Bain Jr. as his No. 7 overall prospect in his top 150 rankings. He also didn\u2019t shy away from how much of a game-wrecker Bain Jr. can be, highlighting his ability to impact the game at all levels on defense and the team shouldn\u2019t overthink the talent he brings. “It is appropriate that Bain rhymes with pain, as there isn\u2019t a prospect in this class who plays with more violence than the three-year Miami standout,” Rang wrote. “He enters the NFL with 33.5 tackles for loss generated in 38 collegiate games. Bain\u2019s relatively stubby 6-foot-3, 270-pound frame will be a talking point in every NFL war room, but teams shouldn\u2019t make the mistake of overthinking his fit.” FOX Sports lead college football analyst Joel Klatt ranked Bain Jr. as his No. 11 overall prospect in his top 50 rankings. He also didn\u2019t shy away from how much of a game-wrecker Bain Jr. can be at the next level, even with arm length concerns. “Tape don\u2019t lie! Bain is a game wrecker,” Klatt wrote. “This guy\u2019s awesome. He dominated everyone he lined up against this year. What I love most about Bain was that it didn\u2019t matter what the down and distance or game situation was, he played 100% all the time. Against the run or pass, his motor does not stop. I love Bain. I know there are some concerns about his length, particularly his arm length. If he falls, someone is going to get an absolute steal.” Team Fit The Buccaneers were rumored to be in the market for Trey Hendrickson earlier this offseason. So, it isn’t much of a surprise that the Buccaneers selected Bain in the first round. Draft Grade Rang gave the Buccaneers selection of Bain an A-.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
