Rueben Bain Jr. Could Transform Dolphins’ Front Seven

Rueben Bain Jr. Could Transform Dolphins’ Front Seven

It is pretty clear that through three games, Miami will be picking at the top of the draft next April.

Whatever pick they end up with, presumably in the top five, there will be loud calls for the franchise to draft their next quarterback.

While that would be an understandable position, it truly depends on the status of Tua Tagovailoa.

If Miami can get out from underneath his contract and get a clean break, then drafting a quarterback in the top five would make a whole lot of sense.

Should the Dolphins not be able to part ways with the southpaw signal caller, Miami should address other areas of the team.

One clear area of weakness is the pass rush.

Even with Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, and Chop Robinson coming off the edge of the defense, Miami has not been able to generate much chaos for opposing quarterbacks, which has allowed for teams to attack a weak secondary.

That group will be even thinner next year with Chubb and Phillips presumably gone as well due to their contract situations.

There is an easy replacement for both.

Rueben Bain Jr.

Simply put, Bain Jr. has been one of the best players in all of college football this year with 11 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble, and one interception for the second-ranked Hurricanes.

His underlying stats are even better.
