Welcome into this Thursday edition of Pushing the Pile.

Mike Renner, joined today by Jonathan Jones. Hey, CBS NFL, Insider. A little dead here today. A little bit, but let's bring some life to it. Yeah, we got some life. We got some good storylines heading into this combine, not player-related. We haven't had any testing yet. So when that happens, we'll be breaking that down at the end of this weekend. Ruben Bain's a little small.

30 and 7-8 inch arms. A lot of guys are small. And he's going to run, right? I believe he's working out, yeah. He dropped like 15 pounds, so he's going to have to be running. Yes, he came in light, 262, which is, I thought he was going to be like in the 270 range. Yeah. But that probably means he's leaning, ready to work out.

That's right.

Okay.

But he's not the 270 range. Yeah. But that probably means he's lean, ready to work out.

That's right. Okay.

But he's not the only one.

So he had 30 and 7.8s inch arms.

Cassius Howl from Texas A&M, 30 and a quarter inch arms would be the shortest of any edge even drafted since 2004, Sean Phillips. and Caden Curry had even shorter than that.

That's a problem for me because there are certain thresholds.

Yeah. Right.

You can be a little shorter. You can be a little lighter. Your arms can be a tick shorter.

But when you start getting into that one to two percentile,

it's not very kind in league history.

Yeah, and specifically with how his, it's not only his arm length, his wingspan is like

three inches shorter than anyone even starting in the NFL right now.

Yeah.

That's, I have a very hard time seeing him. He's a top 25 player on a lot of boards, consensus board, top 25 guy. I just think the NFL is like, we'll probably wait on a guy like that given the track record. But Bain's wingspan, a little more in line with some NFL starters. It's actually within three quarters of an inch of Aiden Hutchinson, even though Aiden Hutchinson's like six foot seven. So I think that puts him in workable range, even if he's probably not going to be the number two overall pick with that. Right. Fair. All right. Some news. Anthony Richardson. We're here in India. Colts number four overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. Granted permission to seek a trade trade even though Daniel Jones stores ACL late in

the season no Achilles yeah sorry Achilles late in the season no word on if he'll be ready

no word on what his contract will be because he's a free agent as well what do we think of this

this has been a fade of complete um i did not really see where anthony rich going to be a member of the Indianapolis Colts in 2026, not only after the getting beaten out in training camp, but also the way that Daniel Jones played. And then, of course, the orbital fracture that he's still working his way back from.
