Jeffery Simmons calls his shot with Titans first round pick
3HL’s Dawn Davenport makes a point to ask Simmons this question each year: who do you want to see added to your locker room this April?Simmons didn’t hesitate to answer. “I’ll definitely get Ruben Bain” He said. “Hopefully we can grab him and hopefully he’s still there we get ready to pick. He’s a **** of a player.”
Bain is one of the most undeniably talented football players in this draft class, and you could feel his impact most Saturdays. But his physical profile is a little bit awkward when you project him to the next level. Namely, his length.
He’s going to come in around 6’3″ 275lbs at the Combine later this month, but his arms are going to measure sub-31”. If he comes into the NFL as an EDGE and makes a Pro Bowl or All Pro with that arm length, it would make him the first to do so since at least 1999. So there is going to be a big conversation about his physical tweener status.
Ask Jeffery Simmons, and he’ll tell you not to worry about all that.
“He can rush the passer. He can play football. I’ve been hearing about this short arm, little hands, Cam Ward’s got small hands. Still can throw the football! He can go out there and make the crazy throws. I’m not concerned about that. I’m a Ruben Bain guy.”
Can't hurt when one of your franchise players wants a guy......
