The opinions on Alabama left tackle Kadyn Proctor are all over the map. Some film analysts see him as one of the very best players in the 2026 NFL Draft class. Others see him as a volatile pass protector with a roller coaster ride of film throughout the season.

Only a true junior as well, the behemoth of a pass protector enters the class as one of the youngest players as well. He stood out on the field at the NFL Combine and at his pro day during the drills, bringing more favor to his side.

It would not be a shock to see Proctor become the first tackle drafted, and it would not be a shock to see him fall out of the first round completely. The difference of opinions between NFL buildings is likely as wide as it is among analysts.

So, let’s dive into his scouting report here and see exactly where I stand on Proctor as the NFL Draft nears.
