Scouting Report: Strengths
- Bain has violent hands and consistently breaks away and disengages from blockers. He’s instinctive, reading, reacting and locating the ball quickly, and finishing plays as an authoritative, wrap-up tackler.
- His handwork is excellent. He is tough against the run, playing with a firm base when setting the edge and showing the upper-body strength to stack and shed blockers.
- Aggressive with good awareness to track the ball and attack. Tenacious, tough, competItIve and versatile.
- He could fit as a 3-4 OLB, as Bain held his own when he was asked to drop into coverage at times.
- He can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, he also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
- Bain explodes off the line with a quick first step, with agile feet to counter inside and closing burst to finish plays.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s not a guy who can be put on the edge every down and be expected to consistently create pressure.
- Bain is on the short side, and Bain too often relies on his ability to overpower blockers rather than developing a repertoire of pass-rush moves.
- Stands up well against the run but is very pursuit-conscious and will take unneeded wide angles.
