Top 10 Names to Note ahead of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine

EDGE Reuben Bain Jr., Miami

ESPN Rank: 9

"Bain is powerful and has really strong hands. He routinely gets the best of some very good offensive tackles, often with his dominant rip move, and he knows every trick in the book in getting home to the QB. Bain also shows speed and bend off the edge, and he takes good angles. Plus, he can hold the edge against the run and get off blocks to chase down ball carriers. His tape is just filled with disruption." - Kiper Jr.

The Athletic Rank: 9

"Carrying a uniquely thick body type with short arms and average get-off, Bain isn't the picture-perfect embodiment of what NFL teams covet in a pass rusher. But he consistently deconstructs blocks with power and is a tough player to slow down. He uses anvil-weighted hands to jar blocks off balance or command the edge in the run game." - Brugler

NFL Network Rank: 6

"Bain is a thick, square edge rusher with short arms. His game tape is littered with disruption, destruction and dominance. As a pass rusher, he lacks an elite get-off, but he wins with leverage, power and polish. He launches out of his four-point stance, uproots offensive tackles and forces open one of their shoulders to get to the quarterback. He has a nasty chop/rip move, violent hump move and nifty Euro step. Against the run, he ragdolls tight ends and his motor to chase is unrelenting." - Jeremiah
