Kaleb Proctor Could Be This Class's Milton Williams

One of the newest Arizona Cardinals: Kaleb Proctor, DT, Southeastern Louisiana — 6'1" / 291. 33-inch arms, 9 1/2" hands, and a 79 2/3" wingspan.

I had Proctor penciled in as a potential option for our 3rd round pick, but luckily we still managed to get him early on Day 3. He gives me vibes that he could be the Milton Williams / Kobie Turner of this draft class. The Cardinals had a Top 30 visit with Proctor, and he was one of the first names linked with a visit throughout the process.

He has the burst, strength, length, bend, and an explosive first step to be a disruptive pass rusher from the interior in the league for a long time.

The level-of-competition talk was silenced when he played LSU — they had a hard time containing him, and that game put his name on the map with 2 sacks, 3 tackles for loss, and 3 pressures. He played his best ball against the better competition he faced.

He followed this up with a very dominant Shrine Bowl and continued to impress at the NFL Scouting Combine with an elite composite speed and explosion grade — a RAS of 9.15.

We may see a smaller role to start off with, similar to Milton Williams, where he comes in on long/late downs and/or on pressure packages to pin his ears back and go as a three-technique. He needs to be more consistent as a run defender to become a plus starting every-down DL, but he has the makings to do so.
