The Kansas City Chiefs are hosting Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. for a high-profile top-30 visit on Thursday, according to NFL Network鈥檚 Ian Rapoport.
Bain, a standout defender from the Miami Hurricanes, is currently projected as a top-10 selection in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. The visit is particularly notable as the Chiefs own the No. 9 overall pick, a rare top-tier selection for the defending AFC contenders. During his three-year collegiate career, the 275-pound edge rusher recorded 20.5 sacks and 33.5 tackles for loss, earning ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2025.
This meeting represents the second time Kansas City has met with Bain, following a formal interview at the NFL Scouting Combine. The Chiefs are reportedly conducting extensive evaluations of the draft's top pass-rushers as they look to bolster their defensive front. Bain has also scheduled or completed visits with the Tennessee Titans and Miami Dolphins as he enters the final stages of the pre-draft process.
