Ex-Miami DE Rueben Bain Jr. involved in 2024 car accident in which 1 person later died, report says
The crash report alleges Bain was driving a 2021 Land Rover SUV that had three other passengers — fellow Hurricanes football players Wesley Bissainthe and Nyjalik Kelly, along with a 22-year-old Georgia woman, Destiny Betts. Bain’s vehicle rear-ended another car, veered into a concrete barrier, then ricocheted into another barrier before coming to a rest on the shoulder of the highway.
After the A to Z Sports staff became aware of the Bain news, conversations began with league sources dealing directly with this situation. That includes a conversation with one particular AFC West team that is aware of the situation. That team has Bain off the board altogether. The aforementioned “arm outlier stuff” would have been used as an excuse to not draft him early if this accident had not been reported before the draft. Another source from an NFC South team told A to Z Sports that they are also aware of the incident. As of now, they have his name “flipped over on their board,” meaning that he is close to being off the board altogether. There’s the potential that they could consider him with their first round selection, explaining that the talent might be too good to pass up on. There’s another NFC South team that shares a similar opinion, although it’s unlikely they would even have a chance to take Bain. The talent is extremely desirable but there is a lot of hesitation with the situation, and lack of comfort so far through the process.

Even AI gets Bengals’ NFL mock draft pick correct
“The Bengals signed Bryan Cook and Kyle Dugger in free agency. Will that preclude them from selecting a safety with the 10th overall pick? Meta doesn’t think so, as it believes Downs’ “instincts and range” will make him an attractive option for Cincinnati at this juncture.”
