As the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine nears its conclusion, the Detroit Lions<\/a> continue to work to identify potential fits for the franchise.<\/p>\n

The Lions<\/a> own pick No. 17 in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft. Though Taylor Decker recently announced his return<\/a> for the 2026 season, Detroit could still be thinking offensive line in the draft’s opening round.<\/p>\n

If the Lions opt to fortify their offensive line, one name to watch for Detroit is Alabama<\/a> offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor. A Lions scout pulled Proctor aside to talk<\/a> at the East-West Shrine Bowl in January.<\/p>\n

Now, Proctor confirmed to Crunch Time Sports that he met with the Lions at the NFL combine.<\/p>\n

Proctor started 40 games across his Crimson Tide career, missing just the first two games of the 2024 season with injury.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-7, 366-pound lineman was Alabama’s highest-graded player last season with an overall offensive grade of 85.9, per\u00a0Pro Football Focus<\/a>. Proctor had a pass-blocking grade of 84.2, a run blocking grade of 81.1 and allowed just two sacks during the 2025 college football season.<\/p>\n
