Kadyn Proctor enters the 2026 NFL Draft looking to be the next great Alabama Crimson Tide prospect. At 6-foot-6 and 352 pounds, the former five-star is on a path to be a starter in the league in the next two years. While he flirted with the option to leave for Iowa, Proctor returned to Alabama and made the most of it.
The second-team Associated Press All-American, first-team All-SEC, and co-winner of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the SEC's top OL was a finalist for the Lombardi Award (nation's top lineman). He started all 15 games at left tackle last year.
Here’s a look at the latest NFL Draft projections and profile for Proctor.

Kadyn Proctor NFL Draft Profile (NFL's Lance Zierlein)
"Proctor is a mass of humanity with rare size and length at his command. He’s capable as a move blocker but shines when rolling downhill as a bona-fide people mover with bulldozing power. However, slants and quick first steps beat him to the spot in the run game.
"When set and centered, Proctor is a roadblock to speed-to-power charges. He has a stout anchor and strong hands to stall the rush in its track. He struggles to mirror athletes in space and lacks the range to protect deeper pocket drops against speed. Inconsistency in pass protection hasn’t helped his draft standing, but he still has the potential to become a good right tackle or very good guard."
