Jeff Hafley offers glowing review of Dolphins first-round pick in camp
The Miami Dolphins had two picks in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, and one has already really impressed head coach Jeff Hafley.
In the 2026 NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Alabama offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor at No. 12 overall. Head coach Jeff Hafley has expressed his high opinion of Proctor, stating that the rookie has been "outstanding." Despite only having a few weeks of practice and playing in one preseason game, Proctor has impressed Hafley immensely.
Hafley describes Proctor as someone who "loves ball," is "tough," and demonstrates a strong work ethic. The coach notes that Proctor is "fun to be around" and is eager to come to work each day. Hafley acknowledges that Proctor will face new challenges at practice, as the Dolphins have a different defense and game plan compared to what Proctor experienced in college. However, Hafley is most excited about Proctor's growth and development.
The performance of Kadyn Proctor in his rookie season will be a crucial factor for the Miami Dolphins this season. If Proctor and the offensive line group maintain their level of play, there is a possibility that Malik Willis and the rest of the team can exceed expectations. Conversely, if Proctor struggles, it could lead to significant issues for the team.
