Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. has been called "the anti-measurables guy" by an NFL defensive coach, who believes he could become a de facto version of Aaron Donald. Despite concerns over his arm length at the NFL scouting combine, some are not concerned. Despite this, Bain's production and ferocity have been praised by talent evaluators ahead of the 2026 NFL draft. The New York Jets are predicted to pick him with the No. 2 pick.
