What the Dolphins are getting:
A monolithic offensive lineman with the type of size that doesn’t grow on trees. Proctor was ready-made for the SEC as he won the starting left tackle job as a true freshman under Nick Saban. Proctor is as powerful as he looks with massive limbs that resemble tree trunks in the right light. He’s a surprising
mover for his size and showed he could hang on the edge if needed, but many teams will view him as a top guard prospect if he chooses to make the transition to the interior. But either on the outside or interior, his strength will show up when he becomes a bulldozer for your running game.
Strengths

- Battle-tested in the SEC from start to finish

Weakness
