Proctor Focused on Left Guard First | Miami Dolphins News

Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley has made a bold move to help rookie Kadyn Proctor thrive: he’ll start the season exclusively at left guard, a focused strategy designed to simplify Proctor’s transition into the NFL. This mirrors the path taken by Laremy Tunsil in 2016, who also began at guard before moving to tackle. With the 12th overall pick, the Dolphins are betting Proctor will eventually become a tackle — a position with greater impact — but for now, they’re building his foundation at guard to avoid the pitfalls seen with players like Liam Eichenberg, whose careers suffered from constant position shifts. The goal? Give Proctor the best shot at long-term success while maximizing his value to the team right away. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
