According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Proctor reached a top speed of 20.95 mph in the 40-yard dash, which is tied for the second-fastest top speed for a defensive tackle since 2023. His Relative Athletic Score (RAS) of 9.51 ranks 101st out of 2,046 defensive tackles since 1987.
Proctor also earned an estimated athleticism score of 83, ranking 4th among defensive tackles at the NFL Combine. He also had an impressive performance in on-field drills, further showing his athleticism compared to other defensive tackles in the class.
