He’s great and everything… but those arms are short. Probably for the best that everyone let him drop to the lions.

If he’s going to drop, the Dolphins will be a good landing spot for him. I have no ulterior motives.

Would be nice to throw us a bone. I’ve got nothing to look forward to. I read espn had the total set at 4.5 next year. I swear if we talk and fail to get a top 3 pick I riot. Titans fan sorta next year

I’ve already switched to the Titans from the Falcons. I couldn’t with Atlanta’s foolery any more. If I’m deal with the with a team being sorry I’m gonna try a new one with Cam Ward. In the words of Cam Ward the Falcons are ***!

Yeah, I’m a titans fan now as well. Only because of cam but we need anything right now. I’ll take any cane at this point. But Bain will have me watching every game for sure. I’m expecting a lineman from butttfuc Iowa though. 😒

I’m good with a linemen. I still think we aren’t a tough team in the trenches. Idk as the years have gone on I continue to care less about the Fins and the NFL as a whole

he deserves it.. kid can start and be a gamewrecker at multiple positions on the DL.. not just a one trick pass rush specialist..

has the character and work ethic to go along with amazing talent...

bain is a gawd

but that twitter account dude is oh god, you really quoted him as valid info?
 
I knew Reuben was underrated coming out of high school and deserved to be considered a five star. But I'll admit that after 2024, I thought he had hit his ceiling due to his physical limitations. Then he went on to defy gravity in 2025.

I personally now consider Bain a generational player at DE just like Cam was last season at QB. Bain pressures QBs as much as any elite pass rusher, but also sets the edge and crashes down to the running back as much as the best run stuffer. He fundamentally alters how OCs and QBs need to game plan when he is on the field.

Bain reminds me of NBA Shaq. Not in size or athleticism but how much gravity he has. Every game you can tell the gameplan is to slow him down from wrecking everything. He is equally as explosive against the run as he is against the pass. Which means he affects every play even without accumulating a stat. Mesidor had more sacks than him and is a legit first rounder and yet everyone knows Bain is the guy you sell out to stop. Forget arm length, I saw this man hip check a dude to get a sack. His power, motor, and technique is ridiculous. He has every pass rush move you can think of and then adds something you haven’t seen before. The guy is/was special. I can go on and on but name me another defensive end that could play against elite lines throughout the college football playoff and dominate every single one of them. Had Bain played in the SEC and not the ACC his stats would look godly. I’ve never seen any player ref’ed like him where the holds are obvious all game and no one throws a tantrum because he is so far and above everyone he faces that to call it regular would extend games with all the fouls on him. Generational is the right word. We aren’t seeing another one of him anytime soon.
