Bain Jr. tumbles in mocks

At the NFL Scouting Combine Bain’s arm length was officially measured at 30 7/8 inches, a sub‑31‑inch reading recorded at Indianapolis. (nfl.com) Bain’s listed college size on major draft profiles is 6‑3 and roughly 263–265 pounds, with some reports noting he told scouts he’s currently at about 265 during pro‑day work. (espn.com) (nfl.com) PFF’s data analysis warns prospects with arm lengths under 31 inches have a poor historical track record at edge, calling Bain’s 30 7/8″ mark the third‑shortest for an edge rusher at the combine over the last 25 years and noting Kyle Van Noy as a rare success from that cohort. (pff.com) ProFootballNetwork and other outlets say Bain’s production—20.5 career sacks and top PFF grades—keeps him high on many boards even as evaluators flag length as a limiting trait. (profootballnetwork.com) (pff.com) Teams have continued in‑person evaluation: the Rams held a formal meeting with Bain at the combine, the Dolphins and Titans have scheduled pre‑draft/top‑30 visits, and media outlets have linked the Chiefs to draft buzz around him. (theramswire.usatoday.com) (profootballrumors.com) (titanswire.usatoday.com) (sports.yahoo.com) At Miami’s pro day on March 24, 2026 Bain addressed the length debate directly—saying “Like Mike Tyson … when you felt him, you felt him”—while showing on‑field versatility and confirming his playing weight around 265 pounds. (nfl.com) Bain’s pre‑draft calendar now centers on private workouts, top‑30 visits and interviews that will precede the 2026 NFL Draft, which opens April 23, 2026; teams will weigh his film and pro‑day work against the sub‑31‑inch arm metric before finalizing first‑round evaluations.
