INDIANAPOLIS — Miami defensive end Rueben Bain Jr. said no team has mentioned arm length to him during his interviews, focusing on his play instead.
"People keep bringing that up out of nowhere, but no teams brought it up to me, so I don't bring it up either," he said. "As long as I just talk the talk and walk the walk, play with technique, nobody actually cares about it."
Bain has been a subject of scrutiny over concerns about his arm length and how it can impact his skills as an edge rusher in the NFL. It did not hurt him at Miami, where he recorded 9.5 sacks this season and 20.5 in his three-year career.
Top DL prospect Rueben Bain Jr. arm length measured at under 31 inches at combine
INDIANAPOLIS — The numbers are in on Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. and his much-discussed arm length.
Bain's arms measured at 30 and 7/8 inches on Thursday at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, effectively meeting the low end of the expectation of approximately 31 inches — an estimate that has driven some skepticism when projecting Bain's long-term outlook at the next level.
Bain spoke on the matter during his Wednesday news conference and didn't express much concern about his measurements. Thursday served only as confirmation of what folks have already seen on tape: an explosive, sack-generating machine who also happens to have suboptimal arm length.

Robert Saleh: I’m really looking forward to Will Levis being part of this team
When the Titans drafted Cam Ward at No. 1 overall last year, it was a clear signal that the club did not view Will Levis as their franchise quarterback.
Levis was poised to potentially be the team's backup. But in July, Levis was placed on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury that required surgery, shutting him down for all of 2025.
A second-round pick in 2023, Levis is entering the last year of his rookie contract. With 21 starts over his first two seasons, Levis does have valuable experience under his belt.
New head coach Robert Saleh was asked about his impressions of Levis during his press conference at the scouting combine this week.
