XFL wide receiver Austin Proehl gets NFL tryouts

Posted May 9, 2023
Former UNC wide receiver Austin Proehl’s performance for the XFL’s St. Louis Battlehawks this season was good enough to land him some NFL tryouts. Proehl was at the Eagles’ minicamp last week and will be at the Panthers’ minicamp this week. Proehl is the son of former NFL wide receiver Ricky Proehl and brother of Vikings receiver Blake Proehl.
