\t\t\tRueben Bain Responds To Short Arms Critique
\nApril 27th, 2026 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Rueben Bain\u2019s arms are three inches shorter than those attached to the torso of YaYa Diaby.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a crisis for an edge rusher, if you ask some NFL talent evaluators.<\/p>\n

Does that take frustrate Bain, the Bucs\u2019 first-round draft pick? He answered that question on SiriusXM NFL Radio.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t even say it\u2019s frustrating because I know the real, because I know what football takes,\u201d Bain said. \u201cAnd I know what football can do when\u00a0you actually put your hand in the dirt. So, if people wanna sleep on that, go ahead.\u00a0They\u2019ll just have to see me when they see me.<\/p>\n

Praised for his relentless leg drive, Bain put that on coaches and work ethic. \u201cIt is a tremendous respect to my coach\u00a0and my training and, and it just speaks on my mindset of my motor. I don\u2019t let quote-unquote measureables define who I am,\u201d Bain said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bain\u2019s arm length at the NFL Scouting Combine measured 30 7\/8 inches. Diaby mesaured 33 7\/8 back in 2023.<\/p>\n

And for those wondering, last year\u2019s Bucs fourth-round draft pick, edge rusher David Walker, a man officials at One Buc Palace think will stun the NFL with his prowess this season, had arms that measured just 31 7\/8 inches at the Combine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rueben Bain Responds To Short Arms Critique April 27th, 2026 Rueben Bain\u2019s arms are three inches shorter than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":593392,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[5961,5960,399,398,396,397,99,1824],"class_list":{"0":"post-609471","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-bucs-message-boards","9":"tag-bucs-news","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-ncaa","12":"tag-ncaa-football","13":"tag-ncaafootball","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=609471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/593392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=609471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=609471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=609471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
