With Rueben Bain Jr. making noise in Bucs camp, will some teams regret passing on him?

Rueben Bain Jr., the 15th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has turned heads early in camp after slipping from earlier projections. His draft stock was questioned due to concerns about his substandard arm length and later complicated by news of a past car crash, and he was viewed as a poor fit for some schemes. Despite that, Tampa selected him and is now seeing early momentum. Reports highlight viral clips of Bain beating $90 million offensive tackle Luke Goedeke and making splash pass-rush reps in the rain. Buccaneers GM Jason Licht says Bain has exceeded expectations in pads, while veteran linebacker Al-Quadin Muhammad says Bain shows instincts that prompt curiosity about his thinking.
