Kaleb Proctor: Packers' Under-the-Radar Defensive Gem

0:00It's April 6th, from kickoff to the final whistle. This is NFL News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Caleb Proctor, defensive end from Southeastern Louisiana, is making ways with the top 30 visit to the Green Bay Packers. This guy is only the fifth from a school in 25 years to hit the NFL Scouting Combine and he's turning heads after a breakout senior season. With nine sacks and 13 tackles for loss, earning defensive player of the year in his conference and all American nods, his combine numbers popped off the charts for a 6 foot 2, 291 pound miaman. He blazed the 4.79 in the 40 yard dash, second fastest among defensive tackles, nailed a 4.71 shuttle and leaped, 33 inches vertically. Those long 33 inch arms make him a nightmare for past protection. Proctor started as a walk on linebacker, barely on anyone's radar out of high school. He bulped up over 3 years to switch to the line, became a starter in 2023 with 26 tackles

1:02then exploded in 20, 24 for 49 stops and 4.5 sacks, grabbing second team all conference honors. The Packers, under their new defensive coordinator, love big bodies up front, but Proctor's past rest juice could carve him a spot, especially in. Nickel sets without a nose tackle, he's planning to add more weight based on where he lands and what role they see for him. Keep an eye on this under the radar beast, he's proof that grit and speed can flip the script on draft day.
