Kadyn Proctor moves to left guard for Miami Dolphins in 2026
Summary

The Miami Dolphins have confirmed that Kadyn Proctor will shift from tackle to left guard for the upcoming season. This move, reportedly designed to maximize Proctor's strengths, places him alongside left tackle Patrick Paul. NFL analysts suggest that this switch could enhance Proctor's performance, allowing him to utilize his power more effectively in condensed spaces. Proctor, who faced concerns about his foot speed at tackle, may have a higher ceiling at guard. Miami's offensive line strategy includes shifting former left guard Jonah Savaiinaea to the right side, aiming to create a stronger left side for their running game. Proctor's development will be closely watched as he adjusts to the new position under head coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan.
