Rueben Bain Jr., Akheem Mesidor, and Shaun Anderson, who combined for over 100 pressures and 20 sacks in 2025, are expected to make a significant impact in the NFL draft. However, there are concerns about where they will be selected. Anderson's arms measured 30 ⅞ inches at the scouting combine, which is the third shortest recorded for an edge rusher, and Anderson's age, which has been plagued by injuries throughout his six-year college career. Both Bain and Anderson are considered highly highly regarded prospects and Anderson led FBS in pressures with 83 and had 9.5 sacks. ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller highlighted that while both players are likely to be drafted in the first round, if Mesidore slips, it would be understandable.
