How These 2026 NFL Draft Picks Secretly Transformed Their Teams Overnight
The Buccaneers snagged Rueben Bain Jr. from Miami (FL) at No. 15 overall before taking Josiah Trotter from Missouri at No. 46, both of whom finished the 2025 season with at least a 10.0% run disruption rate. Bain’s 15.1% RD-A rate ranked third in the FBS, while Trotter’s 10.9% RD-A% ranked 11th among the 40 drafted linebackers. Additionally, Bain had 24 run stuffs, while Trotter had 28 – numbers that ranked 11th and seventh, respectively, among the other players drafted at their position.
For a team that desperately needed help on run defense this season, the Buccaneers found two of the best in the class who are also adept pass rushers.
