The Lions announced Xavier Proctor's move from defensive tackle to offensive tackle Thursday. |
Proctor has spent the last two seasons trying to get to the quarterback as a defensive tackle on the team’s practice squad. Now, he’ll be tasked with trying to protect the quarterback, as the team has moved him from the defensive line to offensive tackle.
VIDEO INTERVIEW
Proctor is a physical specimen at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds, but it was going to be tough for him to crack the 53-man roster as a defensive tackle this season. The Lions are hoping his size and athleticism transfers well to the offensive side of the ball.
He was an All-MEAC Second Team performer at North Carolina Central in 2012, where he compiled 42 total tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and four sacks.
