Pros
- Closing speed
Good click and close that permits him to crease gaps from center field - Block Shedding
Knows how to avoid getting stuck on bigger blockers and can slip and slide around incoming lineman - Play Rec
Knows when screen passes and underneath concepts are coming, showing a quick trigger to break on the ball
Cons
- Wrap up ability
Consistently has trouble tackling at the junction point, often missing tackles with improper fundamentals - High cut-spindly
A longer and linear built player who struggles to get low and can be exploited by bigger lineman - Play strength
Can get beat at the point of contact showing an inability to bring down bigger players or make consistent plays that call for physicality
Eval:
Proctor is a high-cut safety best suited to play in the middle of the field with the ability to rally and tackle or make plays on the ball with his long limbs and extended physique.
The closer he gets to the line of the scrimmage the less effective he is but he could see usage as a lone ranger on the backend of defenses
Floor Comp: JL Skinner
Long player who can play top down but is best suited further away from the ball.
Ceiling Comp: Jayron Kearse
Big body safety who makes plays with his leverage and body control.
