Bain has an exceptional first step where he consistently explodes into the rep and engages with the tackle immediately creating pass rush nightmare matchups for offensive coordinators. Bain’s movement skills continue to show within the rep where he has exceptional ankle flexibility and hip movement that allows him to bend the edge and explode laterally or horizontally to pressure the pocket. Bain moves well in space as well showing the ability to get through a block and chase down backside runners or a scrambling QB. Bain pairs his athleticism and explosive playstyle with good natural raw strength allowing him to convert speed to power while also winning with a variety of moves. Bain has heavy strong hands at the POA which allow him to make lethal contact quickly and violently. As a smaller framed pass rusher, Bain does understand leverage and utilizes it well while also having an ability to stay low and play outside of his frame at the same time.

Bain is a high IQ run defender, knowing opposing rushing plays well with good discipline and strength to set and hold an EDGE. He’s able to defeat blocks in space and has true sideline to sideline motor consistently breaking down plays backside or chasing defenders far downfield.
Bain isn’t lack weight/muscle wise but height wise he does fall below NFL averages and his arm length is also just about average which could limit his ability to plant his arm into a tackles chest and turn the corner while also being outmatched by similar height athletic tackles. Additionally, he suffered an elbow and calf injury that caused his 2024 season to essentially be over before it could start due to lingering issues.
