NFL draft prospects seem to be getting bigger, stronger and faster every season. The 2026 NFL Draft class is no exception, and that will be particularly apparent as the offensive line takes the field on Sunday.
There are a handful of massive prospects across the offensive line, as several players stand at least 6-7 while numerous others will tip the scales at 340 pounds.
None will stand out more than Kadyn Proctor. The Alabama product figures to be one of the heaviest linemen on the field in Indianapolis and will also be one of the tallest, thanks to his listed 6-7, 366-pound frame.
Here's a look at a smattering of the biggest prospects at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine – both on offense and defense – and a brief evaluation of their NFL potential.
Biggest players at 2026 NFL combineKadyn Proctor, Alabama -
Height: 6-7
Weight: 366 pounds
Proctor has the best combination of size and strength among offensive linemen in this year's draft. The three-year starter from Alabama unsurprisingly showed excellent power as an SEC blocker and will be in the running to be a top-20 selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Markel Bell, Miami (FL) -
Height: 6-8
Weight: 358 pounds
Bell's teammate, Francis Mauigoa, has received more attention as a high-end NFL prospect, but Bell's frame is the only one that truly compares to Proctor's. Bell's enormous wingspan allowed him to be a quality pass blocker at left tackle for the Hurricanes. However, he wasn't as good a run blocker despite his size, so he will be viewed as more of a developmental backup at the NFL level.
Micah Morris, Georgia -
Height: 6-4
Weight: 346 pounds
Morris looks every bit as strong as his 346-pound frame indicates. He should perform well in the bench press at the combine after consistently showing power across his five seasons at Georgia and profiles as a mid-round pick.
Anez Cooper, Miami (FL) -
Height: 6-6
Weight: 345 pounds
It's easy to understand why Miami made a national championship run when looking at their offensive line. Cooper is a big-bodied guard who showed strong hands and point-of-attack power with the Hurricanes. His pro-ready size will make him an interesting Day 3 option for teams seeking help on the interior line.

Jeremiah Wright, Auburn -
Height: 6-5
Weight: 340 pounds
Wright has an NFL-ready strength and could immediately challenge for a starting guard spot because of it. He's a powerful, downhill run blocker but may struggle to contain more athletic interior rushers in pass protection. Nonetheless, his starter potential should allow him to emerge as a solid, mid-round pick.
Dontay Corleone, Cincinnati -
Height: 6-0 1/2
Weight: 340 pounds
Corleone was the heaviest defensive player in attendance at the NFL combine. Despite checking in at just under 6-1, the Cincinnati product carries a whopping 340 pounds on his frame. His unique build should allow him to be a strong, rotational run defender in the NFL.
Francis Mauigoa, Miami (FL) -
Height: 6-6
Weight: 335 pounds
Mauigoa is a powerful mauler who played right tackle at Miami and should find success at the position in the NFL. He has a pro-ready build and will quickly become a road-grade run blocker for whichever team makes him a first-round selection in 2026.
Zxavien Harris, Ole Miss -
Height: 6-8
Weight: 330 pounds
Harris is another defensive lineman who could intrigue talent evaluators. He never had more than three sacks in a season at Ole Miss, but his long frame and positional versatility will make him a high-ceiling developmental prospect.
Caleb Banks, Florida -
Height: 6-6
Weight: 327 pounds
Banks had a big-time showing at the NFL combine, showing off his big frame while still running a 5.04-second 40-yard dash. The Florida product is in the running to be the first defensive tackle off the board and has enjoyed an excellent draft season after a foot injury limited him to three games in his final college season.
Caleb Tiernan, Northwestern -
Height: 6-7
Weight: 325 pounds
Tiernan is a tall, four-year starter who rarely missed playing time at Northwestern. He will get attention as a Day 2 tackle prospect and could add more strength to his frame at the NFL level.
Isaiah World, Oregon -
Height: 6-8
Weight: 318 pounds
World is a four-year starter who will be one of the tallest tackles at the NFL combine. He will need to work on his pass protection to emerge as an NFL starter but many teams will be intrigued by World's extensive experience and quality size.
Monroe Freeling, Georgia -
Height: 6-7
Weight: 315 pounds
Freeling has been rising in the lead-up to the 2026 NFL Draft. The Georgia product made just 16 starts in college but offers tantalizing potential because of his frame and pass-blocking success. Freeling has room to add muscle to his frame, so he could be heavier than 315 pounds by the time his rookie season begins.
