2026 NFL Draft preview: 5 tackles that could interest Lions

3. Monroe Freeling, Georgia

6-7, 315. 4.93 seconds 40-yard dash (1.71 10-yard split)

Freeling is one of the most athletic tackles to enter the draft in decades with an RAS (Relative Athletic Score) of 99.99 out of 100, ranking No. 2 out of 1,512 offensive tackles from 1987 to 2026. He's got the kind of length, long arms (34 3/4), quickness and athleticism teams love at the position with room to still add mass and strength to his frame.

4. Kadyn Proctor, Alabama

6-7, 352. 5.21 seconds 40-yard dash (1.84 10-yard split)

Proctor is a massive human with terrific athletic traits. He gets downhill in the run game and moves defenders out of the way. He has quicker feet in pass pro than most people would think for a man his size. Alabama put him in the backfield and used him as a fullback which shows off the kind of athleticism we're talking about with Proctor.

5. Caleb Lomu, Utah

6-6, 313. 4.99 seconds 40-yard dash (1.74 10-yard split)

A two-year starter at left tackle with plenty of room to still grow. He's technically sound with terrific play strength and balance. He's going to continue to grow as he adds strength at the next level and projects to be a quality starter for a long time.
