Video Transcript<\/p>\n

And then Kayden Proctor, the offensive tackle from Alabama, who, talking to a scout who, as he was leaving the, the Alabama pro day this year, he was telling me that if you felt better about the consistency factor with Kayden Proctor, he’d be a top five lock.<\/p>\n

It, it’s just hard to find guys that are this impressive, 360 pounds, and be that explosive.<\/p>\n

but the consistency just wasn’t there for him this year.<\/p>\n

So it’ll be interesting to see where teams fall.<\/p>\n

Are they just gonna trust the, “Hey, this guy is, is massive, he can move, and we’re, and we’re gonna trust that,” or are we gonna s- trust what the tape says and whi- whi- which is a, a flawed player that we’re not confident is ever gonna reach that full potential?<\/p>\n

Is the weight part of the issue there with him?<\/p>\n

Like, you’re conc- I, I mean, I, I know I’ve heard people are concerned can he keep the weight down.<\/p>\n

Right.<\/p>\n

A- and that’s something, a, a guy that He came in at around 360 pounds, at, at, at the combine and pro day, and he’s probably best around 350.<\/p>\n

But it’s, there’s not a lot of bad weight on him right now, and so 360 sounds like a lot.<\/p>\n

That’s probably, he, he’s okay.<\/p>\n

It’s just keeping that weight in a manageable spot.<\/p>\n

That, that’s definitely part of that conversation in terms of consistency.<\/p>\n
