2026 NFL Draft scouting report: Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama
Is Alabama's Kaydn Proctor worth the hype? Check out his 2026 NFL Draft scouting report to get this writer's thoughts.
When scouting offensive linemen, it's hard not to be naturally drawn to the star rating they had coming out of high school. You can excuse some of the bad habits because of their potential. But it's vital that NFL teams be wary of this, and focus on the player and not the helmet.
This is the case with Alabama's Kadyn Proctor, who is touted by many as one of the better offensive tackle prospects in this class, but are we sure? Let's talk about it. Proctor, a former five-star recruit out of Southeast Polk High School in Des Moines, Iowa, helped anchor a state title during his tenure.
He would originally commit to Iowa before flipping to Alabama. He would start all 13 games as a true freshman, earning All-SEC Freshman team honors. After Nick Saban retired, he technically transferred to Iowa for three whole months before returning to the Crimson Tide.
For a player of his size (352 lbs), Kadyn Proctor tested very well at the combine. 32. 5-inch vertical, 109-inch broad jump are great numbers for any lineman, let alone someone with Proctor's build.
