Below-average length. Will get slowed towards the top of rushes when opponents strike/latch cleanly. Bull rush isn’t as effective when he has a shorter runway.

Conclusion

Overall, Bain is a stout, powerful edge defender who can be extremely disruptive and has a very impressive skillset for his size. The relentless motor and high-end effort should boost his floor, and he could have untapped potential with increased usage as an interior rusher.
