Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Melvin Ingram
Summary

Bain was an every-down problem for Miami last fall. His ability to not cede an inch in the running game while consistently collapsing pockets as a pass rusher brought the Hurricanes all the way to the national title game. His traits aren’t prototypical for the position, but it’s hard to dominate college football the way he did and not translate to the league.

About
  • 2025: Consensus All-American; ACC Defensive Player of the Year; Ted Hendricks Award winner (nation’s top DE)
  • 2025: 83 pressures (most in FBS since 2017); 9.5 sacks (5.0 in CFP)
Strengths
  • Power throughout the frame.
  • Body control to shrink the strike zone and keep hands off him.
  • Barely came off the field; nearly 900 snaps last year.
Weaknesses
  • Limited length can get him locked onto blocks.
  • Doesn’t have the juice to threaten NFL tackles on the edge.
  • Tweener traits that don’t quite fit a clean position.
