Stroud went on to note that Bain immediately stood out during practice and he “didn’t perform like a rookie” and was operating at full speed on every rep.
Bain led the Bucs outside linebackers through a series of drills on the blocking sled. His ability to bend low to the ground was on display during the hoop drill. He was so explosive getting off the snap that he routinely beat blockers around the edge for would-be sacks.
To put it mildly, Bain didn’t perform like a rookie. It became clear during the 90-minute practice that he wasn’t taking a single rep at anything less than full speed.
“No, he’s not (practicing like a rookie), and he brings a certain attitude to your defense, obviously,” Bowles reported of Bain.
When it comes to his early goals at rookie minicamp, Bain reported earning the trust of the coaching staff and his teammates is important, as is trying to prove the Bucs right.
“Establishing (trust with) my coaches,” he reported. “Trusting my teammates. Showing why they picked me. Being the player they had expectations for when they took me in the draft.”
It’s still very early in the process for sure, but we can’t help but be impressed with what Bain has shown thus far. If he can keep it up, the rookie might be a big contributor for Tampa Bay sooner rather than later.
