I think so.
But as we all know...
That doesn't always equate to success.
No, but it just... Tua Tungvalu was drafted number five overall.
But I'm just saying when the NFL was making its measurements on the investments that they are trying to put together in their business, they said that Reuben Bain has a skill set at pass rusher that is more valuable than anyone has ever seen while at the University of Miami.
Yeah.
Ted Hendricks then became a Hall of Famer, as you said, but I'm just talking about while he was in school, the NFL has never valued more a skill set that can get to the quarterback than the one that Reuben Bain has had at the University of Miami.
I totally agree, and I think he's going to have a great career.
But with the short arm thing, and there was a reason why he didn't go fifth or eighth.
A lot of people thought he was going to go number eight to New Orleans, and he dropped a couple below that.
So he's not a perfect candidate.
of it my point is though given where he was drafted i i'm wanting to know from you guys is it unreasonable to place the expectation on ruben bain as borderline hall of famer is that an unreasonable expectation to make based on the fact that the university of miami has been playing football for a long time and there's never been a guy that the nfl has looked at and said this guy has the skill set to do this better than any other guy we've seen at your school
I mean, he was the most impactful defender on the second-best team in the whole country.
Yes, he has the potential to be a Hall of Famer, but right now, I mean, Jalen Phillips was drafted in the second round, I think.
Where was Calais Campbell taken?
How late was Calais Campbell taken?
It's the teens, right?
The only thing that I remember like this in the history of the university that would be comparable when I saw it on the field is the three guys.
There's only three for me, and two of them are edge rushers, and the other's Warren Sapp.
It wasn't even Cortez Kennedy for me who went.
