By the luck of the draw, one of the most disruptive defensive ends in college football falls into the Chiefs\u2019 lap as they try to re-infuse premier talent into their defense,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/nfl\/article\/2026-nfl-mock-draft-71-first-round-143508611.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">they state<\/a>. \u201cBain would be a perfect fit in Steve Spagnuolo\u2019s defense and form a productive trio alongside Chris Jones and George Karlaftis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/rueben-bain-jr.\/32004241-4974-1257-a68b-d61ea956d6c5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bain\u2019s NFL draft profile says that<\/a> this player is a \u201cnote taker, grudge holder and block destructor with a compact frame and defensive tackle play strength. Bain is ill-tempered with his take-ons, hitting blockers with heavy hand strikes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The profile continues, stating that he \u201cplays through tight ends and can anchor against tackles and double teams. On the flipside, \u201chis lack of length can lead to him being smothered if he doesn\u2019t land the first strike.\u201d But, don\u2019t let that deter you, because this player \u201ccan bend and flip his hips at the top of the rush, swipe away punches and generate a strong bull rush.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/aericksonsports\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Anne Erickson<\/a> is an award-winning reporter for Heavy Sports covering the NFL, NBA and college football.
