Internet mock drafts still project him as a top 15 pick in 2026.
He can probably become a good guard in the NFL, but he is too slow to play tackle. It is too easy for the DEs / LBs to run around him.
Wasn't the Manning kid being projected as number one? It seems a team with Manning at QB and Proctor at LT would be very, very average. Maybe they can both turn things around.

He was 360 on the previous roster. 366 was a gain of 6 lbs. I posted weight changes in July, and that's what it said. Maybe the writer of the article got it mixed up.

I listened to the video and the writer got what was said right. KP very clearly said he's probably lost 20 since camp and was 'clocking in at' 63, 64 which means the starting point was in the 380s somewhere unless he's incredibly bad at math. As I said, I think the 366 listed on the roster was aspirational i.e. wrong. It wouldn't be the first time roster heights and weights were not 100% accurate.

I think improving and upgrading the OL and the DL both should be at the top of our list.

They aren't bad per se, we just need better. We have a good number of young prospects on the roster, need to develop and bring in a few good ones.

I think when he said "clocking in" he meant before the 20 lb loss. I recall him at 360 on the previous roster. Then a 6 lb gain on the new roster. Nowhere has it said he was at 380.

They asked him 2 days ago how much he'd lost doing the hot bike, and he said probably 20 pounds since the start of camp, then they asked where he was now and he said 363 or 364 as his current weight.

If he's in the 360s now and said he lost 20, he had to have started in the 380s. That's pretty simple math. He didn't do the math for us and say 380, but it's what he said so at some point recently he was way up there or he didn't answer the questions accurately the way they were asked.

I know what they published on the roster. I also know that information isn't always accurate. I wouldn't be shocked at all if he said 366 as a hopeful goal of what he was shooting for to start the season.

Here's the video if you want to listen.

Man, this is hard for me to read. “Workout nights at Hotworx” sounds like a night to go and mingle and be worshipped by co-eds, rather than focus on one’s job which you are now being paid very lucrative money for.
Would I do it too as a young 20-something college guy? Oh absolutely. But, I didn’t get paid to go to college or have the job of being paid to perform in a highly competitive environment every Saturday.
WTH is going on in Tuscaloosa now?
