0:00It's April 24th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and Ready for Kickoff. Tampa Bay Buccaneers just snagged Miami Edge Russia Rubin-Bane Jr. with the 15th overall pick and the 2026 NFL Draft. This 6'2, 263-pound beast became the 3rd Edge Guy off the board in Round 1. Bane balled out as a Jr. in 2025, leading the nation with 83 pressures per pro football focus, plus 9.5 sacks, and 15.5 tackles for loss. That earned him consensus, all America honors while Miami ran to national winner up. Scouts nitpicked his shorter arm length, and he dealt with a soft tissue injury as a sophomore, missing four games and posting just 3.5. Sacks. Freshman year though, he exploded for 7.5 sacks to grab ACC defensive rookie of the year. He was dug into a March 2024 car accident, Bane was in, which sadly killed a young woman, but he faced no charges, just a couple careless, driving citations in college.
