Proctor, the 6-foot-7, 360-pound lineman typically protecting quarterback Jalen Milroe’s blind side, slipped into the flat to haul in a short toss — sending the Crimson Tide faithful into a frenzy. The unexpected play instantly lit up social media, with fans and analysts marveling at Proctor’s rare moment as a receiver.
“Alabama just ran a screen pass to OT Kadyn Proctor 😂😂,” NFL insider Ari Meirov posted on X.
The Crimson Tide’s creative wrinkle drew loud cheers inside the stadium. Proctor, who returned to Alabama this season after briefly transferring to Iowa, has been a fixture at left tackle. Widely projected as a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the sophomore’s rare turn with the football added a new chapter to the growing lore of linemen catching passes.
