MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- There's no guesswork regarding the Miami Dolphins' plan for Kadyn Proctor this season. General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan cleared it up before the rookie was even fitted for his shoulder pads.
During an appearance on the Joe Rose Show in South Florida, Sullivan said the first-round pick will start out playing left guard. While the 6-foot-7, 355 pound Proctor was believed throughout the draft process to be versatile enough to play multiple positions, he played offensive tackle at Alabama -- which begged the question of why the Dolphins didn't take a natural guard like Olaivavega Ioane or even a highly ranked player at another position of need, like safety Caleb Downs or defensive end Rueben Bain.
Sullivan answered that question, as well, on draft night.
