XFL Dragons receiver Austin Proehl making a name with Seattle, where it all began for him

Posted Feb 15, 2020
It seems fitting that Austin Proehl is beginning his XFL career in Seattle, since it’s also where he was born. Proehl was born in 1995, during his father’s two-year stint with the Seattle Seahawks. Now Austin, 24, is making a name for himself in pro football and he put himself instantly in the spotlight, scoring the first touchdown in the history of the new XFL. (Seattle Times)
