Rueben Bain Jr. was one of the nation’s top collegiate pass rushers throughout the 2025 season. In recent months, scouts and pundits have wondered if his skill set would transfer to the NFL level.
While Bain doesn’t have the prototypical size that most NFL edge rushers bring to the table, he’s still one of the 2026 NFL draft’s most intriguing prospects. In three years at Miami, Bain posted 121 total tackles, 33.5 tackles for loss and 20.5 sacks.
If Bain is still available at No. 12 overall, would the Dallas Cowboys take him?
Cowboys insider Joseph Hoyt recently took some time to break down what makes Bain stand out in this draft class and how he would fit in Christian Parker’s defensive scheme. (Hint: He could line at various spots, depending on the setup.)
