FOX Sports has projected Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. as an early favorite for Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Analyst Ben Arthur of FOX Sports suggests Bain, selected at No. 15, landed in an ideal situation with defensive-minded head coach Todd Bowles. The attention drawn by standout nose tackle Vita Vea could create advantageous matchups for Bain on the edge. milkshake.it.com

Arthur projects the rookie to record 8 sacks, 9 tackles for loss, and 1 forced fumble. The selection is already being viewed as one of the better values in recent memory as teams look to solve edge rushing issues.
