Note: This season, I\u2019m posting full scouting reports of a ton of players \u2014 as well as written columns on some of the top or most intriguing prospects. This is the format I file to scouting services, and that mirrors the \u201cone sheets\u201d you see in NFL front offices \u2014 with some explanations about position critical traits for readers. The written-through columns will have deeper explanations on some of the scouting terms and, more importantly, why they matter. Those will come throughout the draft cycle. But I\u2019ve had requests for these quick reports, and so here they are! I\u2019ve updated my process this season, based on the Chargers model that stems from Michigan and is now used in Baltimore and Seattle. If you want to understand more about the changes and any verbiage, I broke the process down on the first scouting evaluations podcast with Jon Ledyard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prospect: Rueben Bain | Jersey #: 4 | Pro Pos.: Edge | College Pos.: Edge<\/p>\n

School: Miami | Height: 6-2 | Weight: 263lbs | Speed: N\/A | Explosive Index: N\/A<\/p>\n

Age: 21.4 (Jr) | Final Grade: 7.94 (Quality Starter) | Draft Projection: Top-10<\/p>\n

\u00b7 A stocky, squarely built pass-rusher in the mold of Brandon Graham (6-2, 268lbs). A thick, squat pass-rusher who has played in multiple alignments over three years. Played as a 4i\/heavy five on early downs; kicked out to wide-nine on obvious passing downs, playing from both a three and two-point stance.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 A heavy-handed rusher who wins with speed, power and enough flexibility.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated: 03\/24\/2026 Note: This season, I\u2019m posting full scouting reports of a ton of players \u2014 as well…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":560841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-560840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=560840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/560841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=560840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=560840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=560840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
