Rueben Bain, edge rusher from Miami, dominates the NFL Combine Survey as the top pick if Fernando Mendoza isn't available. Bain garners 11 of 34 votes, showcasing his playoff prowess with 9.5 sacks this season, including five in the College Football Playoff. Despite concerns over his arm measurement, an AFC executive reassures teams about his potential. Following Bain, Ohio State's Arvell Reese secures second place with seven votes, thanks to his versatility as an off-ball linebacker and edge rusher. Tied for third, Miami's Francis Mauigoa and Ohio State's Caleb Downs each receive four votes. Other notable prospects like David Bailey, Sonny Styles, and Carnell Tate also receive individual recognition. Eight players abstain from voting, some admitting they haven’t kept up with the candidates. The excitement builds as the 2026 NFL Draft approaches.
