Here we go again. It’s NFL Draft season—aka the time of year where grown adults with microphones suddenly become FBI investigators, body-measurement scientists, and part-time psychologists.
And now the spotlight is on Miami’s top pass-rushing monster, Bain (yeah, THAT Bain), after news surfaces about a 2024 car accident that tragically resulted in a death. Timing? Absolutely brutal. Optics? Even worse. Draft stock panic? Oh, you KNOW the “experts” are foaming at the mouth.
Let’s break this down the Errol Marks way—loud, real, and with just enough sarcasm to make Mel Kiper Jr. spill his hair gel.
The Situation: Bad Timing Meets Draft Season Drama
First things first—this is serious. A life was lost. That’s bigger than football, bigger than draft boards, bigger than some guy with a clipboard saying “his wingspan is 0.7 inches too short.”
But in the NFL Draft world? Context gets thrown out the window faster than a Jets playoff hope.
Now suddenly:
- “Is he a risk?”
- “Does this affect his character?”
- “Should he fall out of the first round?”
Meanwhile, two weeks ago the SAME people were arguing about his arm length like he’s trying to reach the top shelf at Walmart.
“We’ve Seen This Movie Before” – Enter Jalen Carter
Let’s rewind to the 2023 NFL Draft.
Jalen Carter—a human wrecking ball out of University of Georgia—was tied to a tragic car racing incident that resulted in deaths. The media went full CSI: Draft Edition.
People said:
- “He’s going to slide.”
- “Character concerns.”
- “Teams will pass.”
Then his agent basically went on TV like:
“Relax. He’s still that guy.”
And guess what?
The Philadelphia Eagles said, “Thank you very much,” drafted him, and now:
- He’s a dominant force
- A problem for offensive lines
- Oh yeah… a Super Bowl champion
So let me ask you—did that situation stop his success?
Not even a little bit.
Don’t Forget Jeffery Simmons
Before the 2019 NFL Draft, Jeffery Simmons had a past incident that resurfaced and had scouts clutching their pearls.
The draft community said:
- “He might fall out of the first round.”
The Tennessee Titans said:
“Cool story. We’ll take him anyway.”
Mid-first round pick. Boom.
Now?
- Pro Bowl-level talent
- Defensive anchor
- Absolute DAWG
So again… the “drop” everyone predicted? Yeah… didn’t happen.
Now Back to Bain – The Overthinking Olympics
Here’s where it gets hilarious.
Bain already had:
- “Too small”
- “Arms too short”
- “Is he REALLY elite?”
Now add:
- “Off-field concerns”
At this point, draft experts are treating him like he’s applying for NASA instead of rushing the passer.
Meanwhile… let’s talk about what ACTUALLY matters.
Bain at Miami: A Problem for Humanity
At University of Miami, Bain didn’t just play football—he ruined weekends for offensive coordinators.
We’re talking:
- Explosive first step
- Constant backfield disruption
- Sack production that makes quarterbacks reconsider life choices
- Motor that doesn’t shut off (unlike some teams in New York… I’ll leave that alone… for now)
This dude wasn’t “good.”
He was game-wrecking.
The kind of player where:
You don’t block him—you PRAY he trips.
The “Arm Length Mafia” Needs to Relax
Every year there’s a group of draft analysts measuring players like they’re building a custom sofa.
“Oh no… his arms are 32 inches instead of 33!”
BRO… can he get to the quarterback or not?!
Because last time I checked:
- Quarterbacks don’t care about your wingspan chart
- They care about NOT getting planted into the turf
This is NOT a Shedeur Sanders situation where hype, expectations, and positional value collide and things get weird.
Edge rushers who dominate? They don’t just fall off the map.
If anything, teams OVERTHINK quarterbacks.
Pass rushers?
They get PAID.
The Reality: Someone’s About to Get a Steal
If Bain drops because of:
- Overanalyzing his size
- Media panic over timing
- Teams getting scared of headlines
Then congratulations…
Some franchise is about to sit there like:
“Wait… he’s STILL here??”
And draft:
The steal of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Look—I’m not Todd McShay.
I don’t have a big board.
I don’t use phrases like “hip fluidity” every 8 seconds.
But I DO know this:
Football players who dominate on the field usually keep doing that in the NFL.
And if teams pass on Bain because they got scared two weeks before the draft?
That’s not analysis.
That’s panic.
And panic drafting is how you end up watching your “safe pick” get pancaked by Bain on Sundays.
So go ahead, draft experts… keep measuring arms, digging headlines, and overthinking everything.
Meanwhile, one smart team is about to say:
“Yeah… we’ll take the monster. Thanks.”
And the rest of the league?
They’ll be learning the hard way.
Welcome to Sundays.

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.
What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.
Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.
My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
