Unsurprisingly, the Titans are doing their homework on Bain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Bain recently interviewed with CBS Sports after Miami\u2019s pro day. The Hurricanes standout pass rusher confirmed he\u2019ll be visiting the Titans soon. That marks the Titans\u2019 second official touchpoint with Bain, after they had a formal interview together at the NFL Combine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Titans would benefit from adding a top-tier pass rusher to the roster. They traded for Jermaine Johnson II and signed John Franklin-Myers in free agency. Those two are set to join Jeffery Simmons and Femi Oladejo (?) as the four starting defensive lineman, per the current roster. Jacob Martin, Jaylen Harrell, Solomon Thomas, and Jordan Elliott are the rotational players.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Drafting Bain would remove Oladejo from that projection. Oladejo would become a rotational defender, and Robert Saleh loves to rotate pass rushers. That\u2019s probably where last year\u2019s second-round pick belongs until he proves capable of producing at a starting-caliber level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Bain produced 9.5 sacks and 15.5 tackles for loss this past season. He was downright dominant during the Hurricanes\u2019 College Football Playoff run to the National Championship. Bain played with Titans quarterback Cam Ward in 2024, with Ward going on record saying he\u2019d love to reunite with the pass rusher in Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Bain measured in at the NFL Combine with historically short arms, under 31 inches. Bain also didn\u2019t partake in any testing drills during the combine or at Miami\u2019s pro day, making the questions about his athleticism even louder. The Titans would have to be comfortable ignoring the arm-length and athleticism concerns to take him at No. 4 overall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The tape is outstanding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rueben Bain Jr. is among the five prospects the Tennessee Titans should consider taking at No. 4 overall&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":832816,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[127,7,7376,10556,10563,7537,2318,12326,1360,6,15,1967,190,32194,11009,2239,526,394,2411,4045,527],"class_list":["post-832815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennessee-titans","tag-cam-ward","tag-football","tag-jacob-martin","tag-jaylen-harrell","tag-jeffery-simmons","tag-jermaine-johnson-ii","tag-john-franklin-myers","tag-jordan-elliott","tag-lucas-oil-stadium","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-draft","tag-nfl-scouting-combine","tag-pass-rusher","tag-rueben-bain-jr","tag-solomon-thomas","tag-sonny-styles","tag-tennessee","tag-tennessee-titans","tag-tennesseetitans","tag-the-titans","tag-titans"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116289705628664495","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=832815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/832816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=832815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=832815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=832815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
