Austin Proehl's game shaped by hard work and a valuable mentor

Posted May 9, 2018
There were a lot of things working against NFL draft prospect Austin Proehl. The North Carolina receiver was seen as undersized at 5-9 and 182 pounds.

Proehl overcame all of it, thanks in large part to the two critical factors working in his favor. (Buffalo Bills)
