For every prospect that entered its name in the NFL Draft poll, every aspect of their game has been evaluated, from athleticism to skill set, while parts of their personal background has been examined.
For the newest Miami Dolphin, one item from his background has made some waves.
Dolphins first-round pick Kadyn Proctor has an obsession with cologne. That was one of the topics the 6-foot-7, 352-pound offensive lineman discussed during his introductory press conference on Friday.

Dolphins draft grade: Kadyn Proctor pick in first round was surprise
Proctor stated that he owns more than 300 bottles of cologne.
“Yeah, I got a problem. But it’s a good problem to have,” said Proctor, who revealed he was wearing Clive Christian Blonde Amber when his name was called by commissioner Roger Goodell on Draft night.
The problem started as a kid as he never went to elementary or grade school without spraying on cologne from the collections of his father, Konta Collins, and stepfather, Kevin Perkins. Following the compliments heard from classmates, an obsession was born.
Proctor’s passion first made headlines during SEC Media Day last summer. With his collection standing at 170 bottles at the time, the lineman explained why it’s important for a man his size to smell good.
"How I see it is, if you're a big guy, you can't stink,” Proctor told reporters last July. “You got to be fresh, man. Because the narrative right now is if you're big, you stink, you smell, you're sweaty. That's not how it goes for me. That's why I be saying flip the narrative."
Proctor added on Friday that he used his NIL money during college to grow his personal collection.
He also admits that he’s received free bottles of cologne as a result of the publicity.
“It’s definitely good to be out there and have people know that you love smelling good,“ Proctor said with a smile at the podium. “They want to send you their product and it’s always good getting free stuff.”
